Assuming your NFS is properly configured: client# mount server:/usr/ports /usr/ports client# cd /usr/ports/editors/vim client# make install > i tried (after mounting /usr/ports (server) to /usr/ports (client)) > `make' in /usr/ports/editors/vim-lite but it seems that `make' is > making it on the server which, IMO, should be on the client? i didnt > try `make install' though. i was afraid that it would install (vim) > again on the server. No. You mounted the hard disk from your server. Thus the build will execute on your client and install into your client. > so what i'd like to know is that is it possible for me to install a > port from the server to the client machine with nfs?
