Thanks. > >clarence I usually have a box ("server") which make the make world process, the others ("clients") only install what the server did :-) Let's say in advance that I do it _only_ if server and clients run the same version of FreeBSD. If yes : (server) cd /sys/i386/conf (server) cp GENERIC CLIENT_NAME (server) edit CLIENT_NAME to suit your needs (server) config -r CLIENT_NAME (if 3.0) else config CLIENT_NAME (server) cd ../../compile/CLIENT_NAME (server) make all When it is finished : (client) mount /usr/src and /usr/obj of the server in /usr/src and /usr/obj (client) cd /sys/compile/CLIENT_NAME (client) make install (client) cd /usr/src (client) make installworld (or make reinstall if both are release prior 3.0) (client) compare /etc/* with /usr/src/etc/* to see if it is changed something in the scripts (client) restart Please check that both systems have the same /etc/make.conf or at least compatible each other. Also it could not work if the clients are too much older from the server. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
