i have a machine with very little disk space that i'm using for a
gateway/firewall, the problem is that i would like to update the machine
to 2.2.2-stable, however i only have like 60megs to work with (base
distribution only, no source).

i do have another machine where i just made world as well as a new kernel
for the machine, is there a way to copy over the binaries from the usual
places:
/bin
/sbin
/stand
/usr/sbin
/usr/bin

onto the machine with very little space left?

i'd rather not have to mount the source dir and recompile as the machine
is a 586/133 and i don't want to wait 2-3 days for it to finish, so if
anyone has a suggestion on how to mirror the binaries i'd really
appreciate it.

i'm temped just to tar things over, but i'm afraid that might not be the
way to do it.

thank you,
