Ah -- then you want 'make release', which will build the .iso images I
was talking about above.  To do that, you will need your own local
copy of the FreeBSD src CVS repository.  The various scripts etc. that
are run are to be found under /usr/src/release, and documentation my
be found here:

    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/index.html

(especially chapter 3 "Release Building").  I can't, off-hand, come up
with any docs. about customising the 'make release' process, but there
has been quite a bit of discussion of that sort of thing here and
there on various FreeBSD mailing lists, from which I'm sure you should
be able to search out some useful tidbits.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
