    John,
            Thanks for the quick reply.

    I see this in the Makefile, but if I were to use KERNELS=MYKERNEL will
    that prevent the other standard kernels from being built?

    LOCAL_PATCHES is what I'm using now (waiting for build to finish to see
    how it worked). I was hoping for a way to populate the src tree without
    doing a full release so I could create the patches, then run make release
    only once (it took 5 hours on my devel system last time). At this point
    I've already done that, but for the next time I'd like to work more
    efficiently.

    BTW, I see I overlooked the RELEASENOUPDATE variable in the man page, so
    that answers my question about preventing CVS updates on "make rerelease".
    Unfortunately make rerelease didn't rebuild anything in /R/stage (I got
    "ftp.1 is up to date"). Am I supposed to delete the stage directories to
    force a rebuild, or do I need to do a full release to incorporate any
    minor changes?

    Chris
