Maybe put the procedure in an install.sh and do > like this: Are you saying to buildworld on each seperate machine with having just the src code nfs mounted? Or build on 1 machine and then installworld on each machine? If it is the latter, I've had problems the 2 times I've tried that. It could be differences in the machines I guess. It always seems to bomb with something like "command install not found" halfway through. The last time this happened was upgrading my packardbell p75 running 4.3-RELEASEp15 to 4.5-RELEASE from my AMDK2 500. It got hosed really bad and left me with a mess, almost unbootable. I then grabbed sysinstall from my 4.5-RELEASE box and then ran it on the 4.3box and did a binary upgrade, which worked really well. I never really investegated this since it is my home boxes and also the fact that I've never had a problem (knock wood) just cvsuping and then doing make world. In our production work environment we have a set of master servers and everything else are diskless clients of the masterservers. Services are "sandboxed" so that too makes life easier :) ________________ http://www.BiznessOnline.com ________________ Thomas Holmes Bizness Online Unix Systems Engineer Suite 1801 tholmes@thebiz.net 11 North Pearl St. (518) 533-6522 Albany, NY, 12207 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
