I'm just idly wondering about something which I couldn't find any references to in the FAQs or handbook (meaning that it's probably not doable or not smart to try): Is it possible to build a FreeBSD installation or kernel on another operating system and/or platform? For example, could I use my WinXP box and Cygwin to build a FreeBSD kernel? If I could, I wouldn't have to install FreeBSD as a secondary OS on my only really speedy box that isn't dedicated to something else, just so I can build updates or new kernels for my firewall boxen. I'm guessing that the answer is a resounding "no". But I thought it might be worth asking. :) Thanks, Corey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
