I have one fast machine that I cvsup and make buildworld from. Then I export /usr/src and /usr/obj to my slower machines and make installworld. This is documented in the freebsd handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/index.html) somehwere. You can even make installworld in multi-user, but it's not recommended. At any rate, we're getting off mailing list topic here. -Dean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
