OK, you have machine buildhost, and then hosta, hostb, hostc: do the buildworld on buildhost, and put /usr/obj on another partition (say, symlinked to /var/usr.obj). Then, after making sure the /etc/exports file is setup correctly for this, do the following from each other machine: # mount -t nfs buildhost:/usr/src /usr/src # mount -t nfs buildhost:/var/usr.obj /usr/obj # make installworld I just did this with a network of machines here, and it works great. Make sure to install the new kernels, too... *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
