Hi, I have one box setup with FreeBSD 4.1.1 and a second with 4.2, I was wondering if it is possible to just tarball /usr/src from the 4.2 box, copy it across and then run make world on the 4.1.1 box to upgrade it to 4.2. I have had a look at the NFS stuff for network upgrades, but don't want to have to set that up because of other considerations. Can anyone tell me if that would work please?
