I typically use: setenv CVSROOT foo time make -DNOPORTS -DNODOC -DMAKE_ISOS release CHROOTDIR=/usr/release EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src > & /tmp/release.out This presumes you've already done a buildworld in /usr/src; it will also use that version of the source code, rather than pulling everything down from the CVS server. Because of the way the release process uses a chroot environment, it's still going to have to re-build everything. So, it's quite a time-intensive operation no matter how many shortcuts you take. chris.
