Yes, in fact, you can now successfully mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj read-only. There is a caveat, though. If you happen to have /usr/src as a symlink somewhere else (say, /var/tmp/src), the machines you are running the install on need to have /usr/obj/var/tmp/src/* available (use symlinks there too), otherwise you'll see the strange errors like missing osreldate.h. -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
