I honestly do not know how you would do that. Is it possible for you to = download the BIN distribution before all this happens? and then just = have the other machine install via NFL or something like that? Hopefully someone else on the list has an answer. -Chris P.S.

If you are = going to do that you will NEED to read /usr/src/release/Makefile, and = also need about 1GB of free HD space. I guess, I can't do that. The problem is that we have to do the install in short period of time and we'll not be wired to the net then. Though, I think, I can do make buildworld before that ... I can change installation target directory for installworld, right ? But how do I make this newly installed world boot itself after moving it to the other box ? >=20 > What I ended up doing was a basic installed over the internet, nfs = mounted the source code, and did a 'make world'. >=20 > Maybe someone else on the list can give you more information on make = release. >=20 > -Chris >=20 > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Vlad = Skvortsov > Sent: Friday, June 11, 1999 2:52 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: how to install FreeBSD from sources >=20 >=20 > Hi. >=20 > I've got full FreeBSD-STABLE sources on my hard disk.
