But have to try these as of yet.

This variable is used only in very few places, primarily in the release mechanism: /usr/src/release/release.sh and /usr/src/sys/conf/kern.post.mk contain some evidence. In "man 7 release", more variables are listed. Sidenote: If you succeed in having /usr/src, /usr/obj, /usr/ports etc. in nonstandard locations, but successfully get world, kernel, and ports compiled, please report back to the list which variables you set where to what values to make it work. That would be nice for further documentation. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
