This question comes up occasionally. `installmost' is a kludge that should go away now that we have `install -C'. What you want to do is NFS mount /usr/src and /usr/obj on each subject machine (and with the same mount points), and then simply do a `make install'. Alternatively (although I recommend against this) you can NFS-mount the other machine on the master and do a `make install DESTDIR=/path/to/other/machine'. Or, you can set up a sup server and the appropriate collections, and use that. Or, you can use rdist. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
