I'm not talking about 'CUSTOM', I'm talking about the
"root@larry.howse.no-ip.org:/usr..."
I think that indicates the name of the box the current build was
completed on.
Therefore, as I indicated in my original question:
"Won't that change to "root@larry.howse.homeunix.net:/usr..." the
nextime I buildworld?
