I used to do it over the net regularly with dump/restore. Just take advantage of the pipe ability. Since the other system has so much room, just pipe the dump file over there and unroll it with restore on the other machine as you please or just leave it in a dump file if you don't want. ////jerry _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
