thx a lot for your really great answer, but I have some more short
questions. :)
Do you copy the release target to the Makefile in
/usr/src/release/Makefile or do you execute from another place?

hm, cannot found the variables TLR and TRR anywhere defined. Can you
please give me some more information how your buildprocess looks?

where should I store that file?
man release doesn't give here any information about it.

where can you say sysinstall that it should run such commands after
the installation?
