No, it does not. You are bringing down the source tree; witness the fact that you are then able to compile it. > I'm sure that I have skipped over the result that I will gladly engrave > with a hammer and chisel as a mirror image on my forehead if you will > just tell me what to engrave :-) Get a copy of the CVS repository. DO NOT put it in /usr/src. If you have successfully completed a 'make world', there are CVSup examples in /usr/share/examples which clearly detail the differences between bringing down the head of the tree (what you are doing now) and the repository. Check out a copy of the source on the RELENG_2_2 tag into /usr/src. Set your CVSROOT variable to the location of the repository. Build the release as before (you appear to have most of it right). You will probably want to set NOPORTS as well. mike (I'm trying very hard to have you work this out yourself, as it seems to be the only way to guarantee that new knowledge sticks 8)
