Ideally, I'd like these to be somewhere else, i.e. /tmp. How >possible is this? The way I would probably do this is thusly: mount the ports directory from the remote machine somewhere else (e.g. "/machinename/ports") then use "lndir" to create a tree of symbolic links from /usr/ports into /machinename/ports (e.g.: "mkdir /usr/ports; lndir /machinename/ports /usr/ports") Then, you'll get a bunch of symbolic links in /usr/ports that point to the remote source, but when you build ports, the work directories, etc. they will be stored on the local filesystem. - --- Donald Burr <dburr@POBoxes.com> - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
