: may be possible.Is there good arc machine for this purpose?
I don't know if there is a good arc machine for this purpose, but I do
know that I have an older arc machine that would work for this
purpose. It is a little slow. Make build on the OpenBSD/arc side of
the house takes about 20 hours.
: ...Oh,NFS mount is another good choice.many developer do so.
: anybody try CODA on hpcmips?
NFS is hard on my Everex since I have only one expansion slot, and I
have my CF memory card in that. The CLIO could do this more easily
since it has two slots. One for CF and one for PCCARD. But the CF
slot must be used for memory since the cover makes it impossible to
use for anything with a tail, and the machine refuses to operate w/o
the cover in place.
