Thanks Matthias, Greg and Martin.
I tested "build.sh sets" and I think it meets my needs.

Now I'm just curious.
With FreeBSD I use "make buildworld" on a machine
which nfs-exports /usr/src and /usr/obj read-only.
On other machines I mount those directories and "make installworld".

I thought that "build.sh distribution" and "build.sh install" was the
equivalent on NetBSD but apparently I'm wrong.
Why does "build.sh install" need write access to obj?

Thierry.

PS: I know that NFS is not secure but it is so comfortable. Lazy me ;)
