I have a fast adsl connection to another machine and have cvsupped the /src & ports trees. Q1) To do the same to my other slow connection machine can I simply tarball the /usr/src and /usr/ports and ftp them to my slow machine & then make etc? Tell me it is that simle pleeeese. Q2) If I tar up the trees are the or how can the permissions be retained... tar -czvf do the trick? Q3) I have 4.2 stable on these 2 machines. I have read the make world docs but to be honest I have very little idea about what I am reading. It looks as if I can just do the make world process and it should work. Should I be confident here. These are mission critical machines and I am by NO means expert. Any tips would be invaluable. PS Keeping in mind I am a dummy, I'd appreciate plain as possible language. I have no external support. You good people are it. Thanks so much Keith _____________________________________________________________________________ http://messenger.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
