If yes whart directories etc... do i have to transfer. A quick and easy way that comes to mind is to export via NFS /usr/src and /usr/obj from the fast machine to the slow machine. Do the builds on the fast machine for configuration "SLOWPOKE". Then on the slow machine simply "make KERNCONF=SLOWPOKE installkernel" to let the standard tools do the job for you. Probably have to trust root from slowpoke on speedy so that installkernel can do all it wants. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
