Binary updates. If you have another FreeBSD system already, use that to do the builds, and install them on your small system through packaging or by mounting the build system's disks (via NFS) on the small system. > Would it just be easier to > buy a larger CF?

But if you've already got disk space on other machines, mounting that isn't much harder, and is certainly cheaper. > Although, from a security perspective, I think it's better > to not have a copy of source or ports. For a specific reason, or just a gut feeling? I can imagine some ways in which it could be true, but they're all based on fairly far-fetched scenarios.
