Hi, I'm trying to use a small older pc (75MHz first generation Pentium 64MB ram 3 GB of disk) as a webserver/fileserver using OBSD 3.6. I'm OK to install the patches but some of them require to rebuild the kernel which I suspect could take forever on this pc (haven't tried it though) and eats up a lot of the disk space available.
Is there another way to apply those patches : e.g. can one copy the kernel from another pc running 3.6 where the patch has been applied. In general can I copy the patched executables (possibly using rsync) ? Thanks. Frederic
