I usually follow this procedure (on the host system, not inside the jail): cd /usr/ports/<someport> make mount_null /usr/ports /jails/jailX/usr/ports chroot /jails/jailX cd /usr/ports/<someport> make install exit mount_null /usr/ports /jails/jailY/usr/ports chroot /jails/jailY ... etcetera So I only have to compile once. cheers, Ruben > > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
