X-BeenThere: freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the AMD64 platform List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2005 19:53:14 -0000 Is /usr/ports the same for AM64 and I386? Basically I am moving towards having /usr/ports on a single machine and have all my other FreeBSD machines mount it using NFS. At home I have 3 I386 FreeBSD machines and one AMD64. If possible I would like all 4 to share /usr/ports... specially since 2 of the I386 are only partially in FreeBSD (ie test/backup machines with other OSs installed).
