Sorry, nobody contributed the Makefile addition to do this. /usr/src/release is -- as the name might suggest -- release engineering stuff. You can roll your own release with it (assuming you've got the required environment: full CVS, 400 MB of additional space to burn), but *that's it*. It has never been intended to do more, and nobody stepped forward to implement the ``make floppies only'' option. (Naturally, people who _can_ make a full release won't spend the energy to add another hook to the Makefile since it simply doesn't pay off. If i need the floppies, i _do_ a ``make release'', and all it costs me is time.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
