Because machine B is the fastest of them all and machine A has all the important filesystems (home src etc...). The reason for a /vol/src is that this way if I want to build a -current machine I can just link /usr/src to /vol/src/FreeBSD-current/src instead of .../FreeBSD-stable/src. /scratch on machine B is a wipeable 1GB partition that I can use for anything from (several) buildworld trees to cd images. Nothing important is on machine B since it occasionally runs another OS the name of which I will not mention, but the fdisk that comes with this other OS has it's "peculiarities"... But your sugestion will work fine none the less, I just like to things different then other people sometimes. I do believe there is a word for that ;-) Jos -- # jos@islay.demon.nl # Jos Vissers # I'm not here, you may leave # # # Veldsestraat 5 # a message after the beep... # # # 6617 AA Bergharen # ........................... # # # The Netherlands # ........................... # # # (31)-(0)487-531521 # .....................<beep> # To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
