First make world, etc. on your main machine
Second, mount / and /usr from the remote machine:
	
main_machine% mount remote_machine:/   /mnt
main_machine% mount remote_machine:/usr /mnt/usr	

Third, do a 'make install' with /mnt as the destination:

main_machine% make install DESTDIR=/mnt

Repeat for every other remote machine on your network.  It works fine for
me.
