I may give your method a try. One disadvantage of a shared $DISTDIR is that files are not available when the network is down, such as when you reboot after recompiling the kernel and the network drivers need remerging. Your replicator thingamajig would deal with that, because $DISTSIR would still be local. I take it you clean out your local $DISTDIRs regularly. -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 19: Passive aggression
