KERNELCONFIG: ? KERNEL?: Q2: I want to add the ports collection, including ALL the available /usr/ports/distfiles/*, and /usr/ports/packages/* actually 2 questions here, how to do that ? and is it possible to make the 'make release' go and fetch any dependency or ports tar.gz if not available locally, how to do that. Q3: I want to include XFree86 Distribution, I already have the X11 3.3.5 source targeez how to do that ? and is it possible to include any config files. Q4: I want to include my current /etc/* setup files so I dont have to that each time and start from scratch. how to do that The general idea, is to have any number of CDs that will install a Complete FreeBSD installation and will optionally be used to restore any lost config files from /etc or Xfree86 and maintain SAME, machine name, dns setup, fstab and complete set of DOCs, WWWs, and anything else I want on the CD. IS THAT POSSIBLE. sounds like a custom FreeBSD CD, but will be great to know excatly how this great system really works. thanks in advance. ===== MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
