You will need approximately 600MB of storage space available on the filesystem that `/usr/src' resides on. Meanwhile, you'll need an additional 3GB (approximately) of storage space available on the filesystem that `/usr/release' resides on. And further still, you'll need an additional 600MB of storage space for the `/usr/obj' directory. So if all three directories (`/usr/src', `/usr/obj', and `/usr/release') live on the same filesystem, you'll need approximately 4.2GB of free space to build a FreeBSD release (including the source). Please note however, that this estimate is low because I never compile a release with the default options. I usually use the following: make release CHROOTDIR=/usr/release EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src KERNELS_BASE= \ NODOC=YES NO_FLOPPIES=YES NOCDROM=YES NOPORTS=YES The above options _significantly_ reduce the size of disk space required to build the release. -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
