I started reading the handbook and found out that it described the whole process of building a custom release. Somewhere in there, it says that about 1 Gb's worth of disk space is needed while doing this. The handbook never ceases to amaze me. When I want non-technical information about BSD, it's there. When I want technical information, it's there too. What can I say? Nice work; thank you FDP people :) --giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
