I've done buildworld/buildkernel with /usr/obj on an external firewire drive, and it worked fine. I did it hoping to see a performance boost by having /usr/obj on the faster external firewire drive, while /usr/src was still on the slow internal drive of the Mac-mini. There was no significant speed difference, but everything seemed to work perfectly fine. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
