Ah, I didn't realized you wanted to do that. If you do want to use sysinstall, then you do indeed to use make release. The various NO* options documented in the release(7) manpage and the makefile should be useful here. That said, I can't imagine why you'd want sysinstall to be involved in a automated benchmark system. Doing what it does using a hand rolled script is way easier then trying work with it. -- Brooks
