Right now, I believe the only way to do this is to build a release of FreeBSD (you must first have done a 'make world'). Part of the process of building the release will create a new .../stand/ directory for you, and you could then copy the contents of that directory into /stand/. A cursory glance at /usr/src/release/Makefile shows # How to roll a release: # # make release CHROOTDIR=/some/dir BUILDNAME=somename [ RELEASETAG=tag ] # # Where "/some/dir" is the pathname of a directory on a some # filesystem with at least 600MB of free space, "somename" is what # you want the release to call itself and, optionally, which CVS "tag" # name should be used when checking out the sources to build the release # (default is HEAD). # # Please note: the vn driver must also be compiled into your kernel, # otherwise the target 'release.8' and possibly others will fail. I didn't go any further, because I haven't had breakfast yet, and I hate to do these sorts of things on an empty stomach :-) N -- Work: nik@iii.co.uk | FreeBSD + Perl + Apache Rest: nik@nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk | Remind me again why we need Play: nik@freebsd.org | Microsoft?
