The build completed to the end of the 'make release', requiring 9 hours. However, I have not verified the contents of the distribution area. Yes, this build process works/worked correctly... I've been running it for about a year... failures are usually related to bad code... :-) # ls /pub/FreeBSD 3.0-19981027-SNAP 3.0-19981029-SNAP 3.0-19981030-SNAP 3.0-19981101-SNAP I'm more than happy to put some tracing code in, I'm just not real familiar with where it really needs to go to track these problems down...
