Guess I'll have to see what I can do about it. Have poked around a bit thinking, "its gotta work somehow, what am I doing wrong?" Having confirmed it doesn't work for others, I'll start digging deeper. Is there a document describing what /usr/src/release/Makefile is doing? If not, then that would be a good subject for a magazine article. Is there a way to resume a "make release" from the last error? Attempts to resume using "make release.6" doesn't. Appears it needs to chroot itself or something, maybe only change the object dir? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nebula.tbe.com ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
