Sounds like a *great* plan! I think that we can do a lot with cvsupd. I've used cvsupd to grab binaries on an experimental basis and it seems to work great. I've also worked at companies that did this on all their workstations on boot and they updated one area and then rebooted 20-odd machines to update them. Not without its problems, but a lot less hair than even an installworld. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
