I then updated the system to FreeBSD-CURRENT using the instructions from the online handbook, which worked well except having trouble with mergemaster, but that is another story . I would like to create a snapshot based on CURRENT using this system so I can use to install onto other systems. This system has no ports installed what so ever, zip, nada, nothing ie very clean system. Which one of these methods would be better to use? The following sequence of commands can be used to build a ``-CURRENT snapshot'': cd /usr svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head src cd src make buildworld buildkernel cd release make release make install DESTDIR=/var/freebsd-snapshot OR The following sequence of commands can be used to build a ``-CURRENT snapshot'' in a clean environment,including ports and documentation: cd /usr/src/release sh release.sh Thanks
