It seems to me that you're well on your way. You'd have to make arrangements to locally mount directories like /usr from the IDE drive, but those details are trivial once you've got the basics down.

I can't give you a step by step because your goals are different, but you are definitely on the right track. <Tack on obligitory encouragement to read the man pages, do good backups, etc. here.> Good luck, Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud operator, designer and maintainer of the world's largest *** Internet Relay Chat server. 5,328 clients and still growing. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
