I'm using fbsd 7.1-p4. (running under qemu/kqemu/windows host) question: When I build a tinybsd image (wrap), it rebuilds all the ports every time I run it. All the ports already have been built on the build system. Am I missing something here? I thought it checked to see if the ports were already installed, and if so, it copied the binaries (and extras) rather than building them fresh every time. I'm really torn between nano and tiny. I like nano's ability to skip the world and kernel builds and the "extra" boot partition. Tiny has a much more elegant ports handler and is smart about getting the world binaries from the host. Tiny needs less space, but with flash getting so cheap, it's less of an important factor for me. I do realize other embedded uses might find that more important. thanks jim
