Almost this identical question was put to -questions a couple of days ago, but
as I did not get a response I'll try my luck here:)
Is it possible to use my PentiumPro machine to do a 'make buildworld' for a
target machine that only is a 486? When compiling the kernel I can select to
omit

They do own their own crontab file. The setgid is for adjusting the
modification time on the crontab directory, to signal to cron that there
has been a change.
I think there may be a neat way of dealing with all of this stuff
using unix domain sockets with credential and discriptor passing.

That's acceleration not velocity :-)
The terminal velocity of a PC case is probably a lot lower than the
velocity of an outer edge of a 1 RPM drive.
Hmm. That would make a FreeBSD cluster quite useful as a garden shredder,

Enabling any ISA interrupt causes the problem. Rather than the standard "

The other reason to encourage it strongly is that there are too many
binary incompatibilities with the kernel interface for some programs,
even in -stable, so we'd want to encourage people to build and install
both at the same time. I'd imagine that the same sort of argument
