Hi, Thanks for the quick response. As I said, I did search the archives and found nothing enlightening -- just useless snippets of e-mail conversations that did not answer my questions. Hence my e-mail to -hackers at this time. man cvs did not answer my questions either. I wasn't sure which list to hit since (just maybe) I might have found a bug in make release which might have been of interest to -current. But in any case I'll certainly restrict my e-mails to one or the other in the future. I do have a complete /usr/src tree on my machine since I am running -current which I did a successful make world on just yesterday. Are /usr/src and /usr/obj what you mean by a CVS repository? If so do I set CVSROOT to /usr/src or /usr/obj or /usr or what? If these are not a CVS repository then how do I proceed? How do I get my hands on a CVS repository? My goal is make my own installable snapshot of -current as of today (more or less). As per the instructions in /usr/src/release/Makefile I already have the vn pseudo-device in my kernel.
