That's a fair point. I use NFS because PKGDIR was on a fileserver that was always on, the build host may not have been on at the time. Both approaches have their merits, but an NFS client needs no extra config files (and the server only has one) just a line in fstab. -- Neil Bothwick Macro: (n.) a series of keystrokes used to simulate a missing but essential command.
