[RESOLVED] Creating USB image

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to create a new FreeBSD 10 USB image that includes the patch for the OpenSSL Heartbleed bug. Looking around I gathered that to create the .iso file all you need to do is:
Code: 
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
cd release
make release

I am however not able to find the equivalent command of the make release command for creating the .img.

Could anyone please point me in the right direction?

Thank you all


Fred

make release builds the CD, the DVD and the memory stick images. See release(7).
 
Re: Creating USB image

If you're only interested in the memory stick image you can probably use make memstick to only build that. Normally a make release builds everything, an FTP site, the CD and DVD images and the memory stick image. Don't forget to do a make install DESTDIR=/your/storage/ to "install" the built image to DESTDIR. Your images and FTP site will be saved at the root of DESTDIR:
