I have a few friends who I've convinced to leave Linux/Windows and move to FreeBSD! Since the 2.2 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek is not out yet, I wanted to burn my own copy so my buddies can install 2.2 (or 2.2.1 it would now appear to be). I've been telling them to wait for 2.2 since Dec. and if I don't give them the CD now they'll stay on linux :-( How do I go about arranging the data to burn a CD? I've noticed in the past that the CD directory structure isn't the same as the FTP site, so I'm assuming I can't just suck down the FTP distribution and burn it onto the CD. I noticed a "make release" in /usr/src/Makefile. Is this what I'm looking for? How much free space will I need if I do a make release? What does make release actually do? Now I have to figure out how to get the external HP SureStor writer working under FreeBSD so I don't have to run the stupid win95 program...
