I tried to follow the directions, but must have done something wrong because after doing the following: cvsup -g -L 2 cvs-supfile make world export CVSROOT=/usr/src make release BUILDNAME=3.0-local CHROOTDIR=/squid1 I got the following error. mkdir /squid1//bootstrap for i in /sbin/mount /sbin/umount /usr/bin/cpio ; do cp -p /squid1$i /squid1//bootstrap ; done cd /squid1/usr && rm -rf src && cvs -d /usr/src co -P src cvs [checkout aborted]: /usr/src/CVSROOT: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop. Thank you for your patience. ed
