What you propose works fine, but you should have the /usr/src and

Then have your slow machine nfs mount /usr/src and /usr/obj from your

Thanks. I'm assuming on the slow install system I have to keep /usr/src and /usr/obj mounted from the fast build box on their "correct" directories (ie, over the local system's /usr/src and /usr/obj) otherwise I'll have problems.

As the other person who replied pointed out, nfs mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj from the slow system to the fast system would nullify a lot of the speed advantage (although it is 100% GigE), but would let me keep the working /usr/src and /usr/obj on the slow machine, which is the one that is actually getting used.

On a somewhat related question, which FreeBSD install choice gives me enough development tools to "make installworld" if I have /usr/src and /usr/obj nfs mounted from a full source system but doesn't actually burden the system in question with unnecessary components?
