You don't need to copy. Just NFS-mount /usr/src from your master onto all the others. In fact, if you also share /usr/obj (or set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX appropriately so they all point to the same place), you can even buildworld on one, and just run "installworld" on all the others and skip the extra compiles. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
