You have to remember that your patches files should include patches to /usr/src/release/Makefile in order to be taken into account, because of the chroot'ed environment and the way the build script pulls everything out with CVS ... I assumed i did not want to commit anything, and did not have time to fiddle into the CVS configuration files (i'm really not a CVS guy) in order to avoid advertize them to the world and sending mails to cvs-all. :-) The result is quite impressive, though. Setting up a box in our offices around the world is a matter of minutes. I have to give you warm thanks for that ! I'm just missing an easy way to include pre-compiled packages in the cdrom without a manual download of the newest packages. -- Erwan Arzur NetValue ltd.
