Hello list, i dont know wether this has already been asked but i'm asking anyways :) i have 2 machines running freebsd 4.3-RC with nfs and i came upon a situation whereby i want to install a port that was already installed on the server. i am currently on a dialup and i see it hard for me to be downloading and updating the whole ports collection on both of the machines. example: lets assume that i have installed vim on the server and now, i want vim on the client as well. i tried (after mounting /usr/ports (server) to /usr/ports (client)) `make' in /usr/ports/editors/vim-lite but it seems that `make' is making it on the server which, IMO, should be on the client? i didnt try `make install' though. i was afraid that it would install (vim) again on the server. so what i'd like to know is that is it possible for me to install a port from the server to the client machine with nfs? thanks. -- Alvin mailto:bsd140870@yahoo.co.uk _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
