Hello,

Hi

I was wondering if this was possible? I've got a box that i'd like to install the latest gnome 2.14 desktop on, as well as some very intense apps to build. I would like to compile the needed apps on my fastest machine as packages, then transfer all the packages to the slower box, and do a pkg_add * and they're all installed. My catch is i don't want to install everything on my fastest box to pull this off. I am using portupgrade and was wondering if this was doable?
Thanks.
Dave.

This is a pretty good guide to creating a build server, from your fastest machine, so it does all the work, from updating world and kernel source, to ports. Bascially it involves NFS and mounting the faster computers /usr/src && /usr/ports after thier compiled on the faster machine.
