Hi,
Is it possible to do a ''make buildworld buildkernel'' of the FreeBSD 6.x
series sources on a FreeBSD 7.x machine and then install them onto a
FreeBSD 6.x machine?
I ask coz currently I have 3 FreeBSD 6.2 machines and I build the world
and kernel on one of them and install on the others (while updating etc).
When FreeBSD 7 releases I plan to move one of the machines to that (and
this is the machine on which I build stuff currently) so I was wondering
if its possible to continue with things the way they are now ...
I understand I'll have to build separate port packages for 7.x and 6.x but
I maybe there's some workaround for the base system ...?
Thanks,
Rakhesh
