The small dive unable to hold a ports & src is able to hold its own /usr/obj dir which it has in /usr/obj The "Big" machine has the ports an src setup exactly like the "small" machine does so when mounting it over nfs i have the option to do the buildworld on the "Big" machine then do the installworld on the "small" machine. My Big machine is somewhat setup in a similar way running 4.10-STABLE i remotely mount the ports an src dir's and do the neccessary updates 1 a week and it hasnt given me any hassles. -- Yours Sincerely Shinjii http://virusinfo.rdksupportinc.com
