Hello, Paul Bauer! On Tue, Feb 13, 2001 at 06:38:45PM -0600, you wrote: > Is there a HOWTO or a FAQ somewhere that I am missing?

I've asked about this before. So that's my howto: 1. You will need the while cvs repository preferablely on local hard disks. You can get it by cvsuping 'cvs-all' target. 2. cvsup complete src tree to your /usr/src or any other place you are usually place your source tree. (we'll call it $SRCDIR) 3. You'll need a lot of free space (about 1.6-2Gb) Also, create some dir where you want to put release files, there should be about 1Gb free. 4. cd $SRCDIR/release make release CVSROOT=here_your_cvs_repo BUILDNAME="4.2-STABLE" \ RELEASETAG=RELENG_4 CHROOTDIR=your_dir_where_to_put_release_files (maybe I'm missing some flags, but now I have no source tree to look at. 5. wait some hours/days depending on your hardware and disk speed :)) 6. when it will finish, cd $CHROOTDIR/R/cdrom/disc1 mkisofs -o ~/FreeBSD-4.2-STABLE-image.iso -J -r -b floppies/boot.flp 7. burn it on CD using burncd for example. P.S. Maybe it worth to include this in handbook? -- NEVE-RIPE The instructions said to install Windows 98 or better, so I installed FreeBSD.
