I'm not sure what you can do for base, but others > might. Fortunately, base does not need updates very often. Without particular testing, I'd say this is possible. All you need is the basic /usr/src tree (top level files and maybe others) which are in sync with what you use to build on a different machine. Then you need access to the build results located in /usr/obj (or where you direct the output at), and then perform the installation steps. Another idea would be to generate "delta packages" comparable to the distributions usually found on the installation media, and then simply extract them to the correct locations on the local machine. Maybe this can even be integrated with freebsd-update (but of course with your own source). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
