Hi,

I have two supfiles, one for the source and one for cvsroot.
I have already downloaded the source did a make buildworld
and a make buildkernel (with a different KERNCONF), then did
a make installkernel to finally go to single user mode to do 
a make installworld.. all this went fine. It is the make release
which is giving me a hard time.

:'make release' requires that you have a local copy of the whole cvs
:repository. It then checks out a copy of the desired release from the
:repository in order to create the release.  If you don't specify a tag
:cvsup will fetch the whole repository for you (currently at some
:1.5GB). If you specify a tag you will get only the sources with that
:tag, which is all that is needed for a normal buildworld. (The normal
:source tree is about 300MB in size.)
