can i just NFS mount /usr/src and /usr/obj from a live 2.0.5-R system
and do a make install?

also, is it safe to do a "make world" of FreeBSD-stable on a live 2.0.5
system in order to take it to FreeBSD-stable (pre-alpha 2.1?) ?

an email response would be nice, as my news reading is a tad spotty
these days.
