Er, make that last line:

# make iso.1 -DMAKE_ISOS

Oops.

OK.  Most of "make release" runs inside a chroot sandbox (for you, this 
is /data/RELEASE).  The two lines you gave above are kind of a hack to 
let you run "make iso.1" from outside the sandbox.

What I didn't state before (but should have) was that if you use
-DMAKE_ISOS as a part of every release that you build, you don't need to
go back and figure out how to make them later.  :-)

release(7) seems to be missing the fact that the "Targets called by
'make release'" are only intended to be run from inside the sandbox, and
not by the person building the release.
