Try doing a "make release" in /usr/src/release. Note that this takes quite a while, and needs a LOT more disk space than a "make world" does. At the end you have some directory like /foo/bar/R/cdrom/disc{1,2} (amongst other things) which you can make an ISO filesystem from. disc2 is probably what you want. *thinks* It would probably be easier, thinking about it, to just do a normal buildworld, and then "make DESTDIR=/foo/bar installworld" and then create an ISO image of the whole /foo/bar tree. That way you don't risk forgetting some important bits. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
