Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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, .________________________________________________________________________ __ _ |Alfred Perlstein - Programming & SysAdmin --"Have you seen my FreeBSD tatoo?" |perlsta@sunyit.edu --"who was that masked admin?" |http://www.cs.sunyit.edu/~perlsta : '
