In this case, simply chroot into the release build area, cd to /usr/src/release there, remove obj/release.* as appropriate (they are loosely commented in the Makefile), and say `make doRELEASE'. I've often done it this way. Make sure to not remove obj/release.[67], these are the large tarballs that take quite some time to be created. Did reading Makefiles really become black magic in the 20th century? :-) -- 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. ;-)
