Hi,
How about doing the actual compile on the other machine?
I have an old 486-33/16MB acting as an internet gateway/firewall. When
I make world (my other 2 are also running fBSD, I usually make buildworld
on the fastest machine and export the generated /usr/obj using nfs to
the other hosts. On the other hosts I can type make installworld, which
then does the job way faster, since it doesn't have to compile anymore. :)
Took only half an hour on the 486 btw. UNIX is great ;-)
Gr,
