The last time I tried making a install media from a local installation is quite a lot of years since. I found " man release(7)" very helpful, but at the end it turns out that I didn't understood what is happening. I tried to fullfill all prerequisites needed to make a release, i.e. 1) having a populated /usr/src (SVN managed), I recently made a 'make buildworld', I created a suitable release-folder to chroot to for the release and I issued MAKE_DVD=yes and MAKE_ISOS=yes to ensure the build of ISO images for a DVD. I'll show the command issued at the end. But the build-process seems to drop everything it builds into /usr/src/release (from where the commande 'make release' has to be issued as docuemnted in 'release (7)'. Here's the command: Folders /home/release and /usr/src exists, 'make buildworld' has been issued and successfully finished. The following commands are issued regarding the release (7) manpage: cd /usr/src/release make release SVNROOT=/usr/src NODOC=yes MAKE_DVD=yes MAKE_ISOS=yes\ CHROOTDIR=/home/release BUILDNAME=SOMETHING_NEW I do not ommit TARGET_ARCH and TARGET since I do not crossbuild (I'm on amd64). The outcome is that the make-release process seems to flood /usr/src/release as it never 'chroot' to the given CHROOTDIR. I'm not familiar with this and I exepct this to be a kind of mistake. Correct me if I'm wrong. Regards, Oliver
