So the bloat couldn't be that big.. This strikes me as a step in the wrong direction. Isn't FreeBSD moving to making more things optional packages rather than direct parts of base? If Perl and the userland things which depend upon it can be made into install time packages, what's stopping the same thing from being done for GEOM (ie. libexpat and the userland things which depend upon it)? -a To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
