Hi, I'd like to confirm my steps in building a customized FreeBSD release CD. The goal is to streamline server installation steps by having a CDROM that will install FreeBSD 6.0 Release p5, and install a custom kernel on the machine as well. I am taking the following steps: cd /usr/src/release sudo make release \ CHROOTDIR=/raid/release \ BUILDNAME=6.0-RELEASE-amd64-PE2850 \ CVSROOT=/home/tom/cvs \ RELEASETAG=RELENG_6_0 \ MAKE_ISOS=YES \ KERNELS=DELL2850 \ LOCAL_SCRIPT=/home/tom/release-local.sh | tee /tmp/output.txt release-local.sh simply copies the kernel file DELL2850 into /raid/release/usr/src/sys/amd64/. Does this make sense? Will my sources be up to date in this case? Also, the DELL2850 kernel is not the kernel I end up booting off of. Will simply mv'ing the new kernel directory into place do the trick? Thanks, Tom -- Thomas J. Daly tom@dyndns.com Dynamic Network Services, Inc. http://www.dyndns.com/
