You're most likely going to have to make a release, that does build the boot floppies and a "live" file system cdrom image. Basically what you are looking for. I have the instructions that someone else had forwarded to me at home. The problem with this, is that you would need close to 2gb of free disk space to pull this off. Since you have stated that you have a small drive, this may be a problem. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Doug White [SMTP:dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu] > Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 1999 3:39 PM > To: Jamie Norwood > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: Making a system on CD > > On Tue, 22 Jun 1999, Jamie Norwood wrote: > > > > > Here is what I would like to do.
