I think that would be a terrible idea. I use freebsd-update on my soekris, but with an NFS-mounted /var/db/freebsd-update, which is far simpler and less likely to blow up in your face. IMHO, it is safe for freebsd-update to assume that mfs is a no-no. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
