All the this is quite easy if you want to use the files in /usr/src/release/floppies. it is possible that they need to be updated for 2.2 but I checked them for -current today (and fixed them) cd /usr/src make buildworld cd /usr/release make obj cd sysinstall make obj cd ../floppies make obj cd fixit make it should make a floppy image for you you need to look at the file floppies/fixit/crunch/crunch.conf to add utilities see man crunch for more info you might need to get the -current version of the crunch.conf files if it doesn't work under 2.2 > > What do you want to know?

I separated it out years ago, but it's rarely used.. you need to do a 'make buildworld first, but otherwise it's pretty self standing. > > > Can anyone offer any pointers to more information on building fixit disks? > > Take a look at the 'release' target in /usr/src/release/Makefile. or better yet, release/floppies/fixit there is a subdirectory called 'verbatim' any files in that directory when you build the floppy will be coppied directly onto the floppy in addition to all the usual stuff.. This allows you to add your own non standard files very easily. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
