You could use portupgrade to upgrade one machine with the -W option so it won't clean up after itself, then nfs mount the ports directory on another machine and use portupgrade -wWar to upgrade them if I'm not mistaken. If that doesn't work, you could create a binary package of everything installed and copy them over and install them with pkg_add. > > -- > dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE > ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11 ++ FreeBSD 5.3 > + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- I sense much NT in you.
