Thanks for the info!

Continuing my -current diary...

 # cd /usr
 # mkdir sets
 # mkdir sets/dest
 # mkdir sets/obj
 # mkdir sets/tools
 # mkdir sets/release
 # cd src
 # ./build.sh -D /usr/sets/dest -d -O /usr/sets/obj \
   -R /usr/sets/release -T /usr/sets/tools
 config: cannot create /usr/sets/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC: Nos such
file or directory
 *** Error code 2

 Stop.
 nmake: stopped in /usr/src/etc
 *** Error code 1

 Stop.
 nmake: stopped in /usr/src

There's that troublesome config again. If I ls /usr/sets/obj I see a binary
and an installation folder. No sys folder. Should config create it or should
it already be there? Is config getting the wrong path? 

Should I continue down this road, or just do an update from the sets on the
FTP site?
