I just got done stripping it out of a project for work, it's build process is complicated and overkill for a lot of projects. You can create a perfectly usable live-cd by doing: make installkernel installworld distribution DESTDIR=3D/some/dir cd /usr/ports/sysutils/screen && make install DESTDIR=3D/some/dir =2E.. =2E.. =2E.. cd /some/dir mkisofs -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -R -U -V Uberl33t -p Uberl33t \ -o /usr/wherever/Uberl33t.iso . --=20 Thanks, Josh Paetzel --I4VOKWutKNZEOIPu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFG9FJ7JvkB8SevrssRAoBrAKCWTg0jy1OtZ93+Jti3/C2eQkAJxwCdFlEg /SyQZWXdbUfTrGtUu+JtXas= =Cjli -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --I4VOKWutKNZEOIPu--
