I've seen some mention on this list of doing builds (like a make world)on a seperate machine from the target system. Since in my case the target is a 486 DX2/66 with 32 MB RAM and a pretty small hard drive (it's a headless firewall box), I'm obviously interested in being able to compile on a seperate machine. How does one go about doing compilation on a seperate machine- in particular, I'd like to know any pointers about building a kernel and a doing a make world on a seperate machine. Also, how long does it take to do a make world? I've recompiled my kernel twice on my 486 and it takes about 2-3 hours total, including the "make depend" step. I shudder to think what it would take to build the whole thing from source. I was planning on a second FreeBSD box on a P90 with 32 MB RAM, but that's also for a firewall. I'm thinking about installing FreeBSD on my PIII 550 in a seperate partition just so I can do things like builds and so on for my other, slower systems. Thanks for any info and/or pointers.
