Hello, I'd like to modify the FreeBSD "base" (e.g. make changes to configuration files) - is there a way to do this without make world and creating my own distribution (the changes are simple enough I'd like to be able to role them into a modified base for now).
It seemd like I could do the following: 1. cat base.?? > /tmp/filename.tar.gz 2. cd /tmp; mkdir base; tar -C base -xpzf ../base.tar.gz 3. Edit which ever files, and recreate a new base.tar.gz 4. use split(1) to split the tar.gz file up again 5. Recreate the CHECKSUM.MD5 file with lines for each base.?? file of the form: MD5 (base.aa) = md5_of_file Unfortunately the install complains about not being able to read the base distributions (doing an FTP install). What am I missing? Somewhere there's something else which appears to be telling the install it should expect a certain number of split base.?? files (I end up with a larger number of these, and can not seem to get split to let me create the same number as originally existed in). Thanks, Ivan Fetch. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
