I was reading a page in the FAQ 13.2. How do I make my own custom release? http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ242.html I am a little confused by this, why the prefex and base as they are, can I not use my sources in /usr/src/ ? I realize that I don't usually grab the www, and doc-all targets, and I can grab those. By re-reading this it appears that I need to grab my ports and dump them in by cvs tree also, is this correct. Basically what I'm asking, is, if I already have a good chunk of what I need in /usr/src, why can't I grab the extra little bit, put it in /usr/src (via cvsup), or can I? ________________________________________________ Christopher J.
