But the EASIEST way would be to simply delete the ports tree (/usr/ports) on the other machines and copy in the new one.

The 'local' bandwidth is certain to be larger than pulling it from the internet anyway. /Micke ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 3.1 ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
