I know that pkg_create command will create packages for the other 3 boxes. if I am going to rebuild all of my ports from scratch, can I somehow tell FreeBSD to create a package all the time and store it in a directory? also what file do I modify to tell the other local machines where to find the packages? can this be a sftp url? it would be convenient cause sshd is installed in base. I want to install FreeBSD 8 BETA2 i386 on 4 computers, I want to install gnome and firefox, k3b, compiz,openoffice etc... all in all it is like a 975 port count. Thank you in advance Sam Fourman Jr.
