That's the theory, anyway. To answer the parenthetical question - no, it isn't. You can do the buildworld (and even the buildkernel) on one system, and then installkernel, installworld and mergemaster on the others, and it works like a charm. The trick is to set KERNCONF (or KERNEL, depending on how recent your sources are - see /usr/src/UPDATING) to the appropriate config file name in /etc/make.conf on all the boxes, and to all the config file names on the box with sources on it, it's name first. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
