    178178=== B.4  Build nanobsd  aka make sure to prepare some coffee ;-) ===
    179 
    180 Tip: This step will take a long time to complete, use screen in remote setup to avoid failures due to disconnections
    181 
    182 build# sh /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd/nanobsd.sh -c $R/cfg/nanobsd.wleiden
    183 
    184  Note 1: Take a coffee of go for a hike, this normally takes 2 - 8 hours depending on the machine configuration. If you like to save some power use the script provided by Rick ([http://rickvanderzwet.nl/svn/personal/misc/power-saver]). This script is mainly used on a home server for building FreeBSD world and kernels. As soon it is done it can shutdown if not being used anymore. The system has Wake-On-Lan support and can thus be activated again from remote.
    185 
    186  Even this little script got flags, check the output of {{{sh /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd/nanobsd.sh -h}}}
    187  {{{
    188 -b suppress builds (both kernel and world)
    189 -k suppress buildkernel
    190 -w suppress buildworld
    191 -c specify config file
    192 ...
    193  }}}
    194 
    195  Tip: a '''safe alternative''' is the image-script available in file:$R/tools/ : {{{ build# $R/tools/image build }}}. This script checks whether a kernel and/or world are already available and skips these steps. This may prevent lengthy, unnecessary builds.
     179Start the build process [2 hours]:
     180build# screen $R/tools/image build
     181
     182Tip: Save some power and use an [http://rickvanderzwet.nl/svn/personal/misc/power-saver power-saver script] to shut-down the machine ones not being using any-more.
