Hi, I've been reading, and playing with various ways of setting up a soekris net4521. Nothing I've seen (or more likely, understood) in the archives seems to show building FreeBSD for the soekris from different sources than the one used on the "build" system (e.g. the PC running FreeBSD already.) What I've looked at so far describes scripts that will copy files built originally from /usr/src used by the PC itself. Since smarter people than I haven't already done this, I'm curious if there is a technical reason why the following isn't possible: - On a stable system, cvsup a different release (e.g. 5.0 -current) into say, /soekris/usr/src. - build everything, setting (if needed?) DESTDIR to somewhere in /soekris and MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/soekris/usr/obj - use the results of the steps above to build the CF image or an image than can run via PXE (e.g. no CF at all.) Anything new needed for say, 5.0 would have to be under /soekris as the build system wouldn't have it. If I understand "make release" correctly, the above looks similar. I've never built a release before. I didn't want to start learning it just now if it doesn't apply to setting up the 4521.
