In particular, if you have more than one BBB, you should be able to = NFS-mount and build on one, then install on the others. If you only want to update the kernel, you should be able to cross-build = and then use installkernel on the build host to put all the kernel bits = into a directory, then just copy that directory (with all modules, = etc.). I don=E2=80=99t know a good way to cross-build and update world, though. There=E2=80=99s another way to look at this problem, though: Can you = copy $YourCustomStuff from your old image onto a new image instead of = copying $NewFreeBSDBits onto your old image? This is essentially the approach I=E2=80=99ve been trying to push = through with Crochet. If I could figure out how to install packages = into the image on the build host, I would be most of the way there. Cheers, Tim
