is it possible to have all sources in only one "server" machine and  use it to 
upgrade another "remote" by letting the "remote" mount the "server"? 
(i NFS export /usr/src -maproot=root on the server)


i have upgraded the system from 2.2.6 -> 2.2.7 by 'makebuildworld' once on the 
server and then 
on the "remote" :
	mount server:/usr/src /usr/src
	cd /usr/src
	make installworld
that seems to have worked...



i have difficulty with building a kernel though,
on the "remote"!!:
	mount server:/usr/src /usr/src
	cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
	/usr/sbin/config REMOTE-KERNEL
	cd ../../compile/REMOTE-KERNEL
	make depend
	make ... ...
		Error 1 
		at vnode_if.c (first file to cc)


if i build the kernel on the "server" 
and  on the "remote" just 'mount' 'cd' in the REMOTE-KERNEL compile directory 
do 'make install' then it does not complain.

any ideas why this happens?


Thanks,
Panos
