Hello,

I want to build a release of  2.1 for a friend.  I have 430 MB available on
/y, is that enough ? 

Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd12h     469591        1   432022     0%    /y

My  primary problem is  that  I don't want to   build the release  with the
GENERIC kernel but with a custom one. What do I have to do for that ?

Replacing GENERIC with FOO in release/Makefile is easy  but that means that
I have to  commit a src/sys/i386/conf/FOO in the  RELENG_2_1_0 branch of my
CVS tree... I don't want to disturb my updates with CTM. 

Can I have my own file in the CVS tree without having CTM fell over my face
at the next update ?

The goal is  to install 2.1.0 on  a laptop with only 4  MB of  RAM (and not
that much really available of course). We've seen that a custom kernel will
boot on the machine but we need sysinstall with it to install...

Thanks for any ideas (Jörg, I saw you've been through this a little :-))
