What pain?  Since I keep old versions around too for reference, I have 
been using this bash script for at least a year, to build Nitros9 fresh 
each time, along with lwtools and toolshed. On a 10mbit pipe, is about 6 
to 7 minutes to run on this quad core but slow phenom.

#!/bin/bash
# since I'm always forgetting to sudo...
if [ `whoami` != 'root' ]; then
	echo
	echo "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
	echo "this script needs to be run by root"
	echo
	echo
	exit 1
fi
mv lwtools lwtools-$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M)
hg clone http://lwtools.projects.l-w.ca/hg/ lwtools
cd lwtools
make
make install
cd ..
echo
echo
echo "lwtools has been built, next is toolshed"
echo
echo
chown -R gene:www-data lwtools # make visible to the web
mv toolshed toolshed-$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M)
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/toolshed/code toolshed
cd toolshed
make -C build/unix install
cd hdbdos
make
cd ../..
chown -R gene:www-data toolshed # make visible to the web
echo
echo
echo "toolshed has been built and installed, next is nitros9"
echo
echo
mv nitros9 nitros9-$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M)
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/nitros9/code nitros9
cd nitros9
hg update lwtools-port # this step is temporarily needed
export NITROS9DIR=$PWD
mkdir dsks # this step is temporarily needed
make dsk
make dskcopy
cd ..
chown -R gene:www-data nitros9
echo
echo
echo "this completes the build of lwtools, toolshed, and nitros9"

And you can see these on my web page.  However, my coco3 and dw4 are on 
the outs, I blew something in the bit banger last winter, so I haven't ran 
this script recently.  That means whats on my web page is probably stale 
and should NOT be used.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
