In 1993 I was tired of manually customising generic FreeBSD to what I needed, so I wrote & still use http://berklix.com/~jhs/bin/.csh/customise After cd /usr/src;make install I run customise to apply all my outstanding src/ & ports/ patches & ports preferences etc from my public tree. http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/ & run src install again & then variations of cd /usr/ports ; make BERKLIX_MINIMAL=YES BERKLIX_CLIENT=YES make BERKLIX_SERVER=YES BERKLIX_GATE=YES BERKLIX_AMBITIOUS=YES install I'm doing it on Alpha4 now. (Yup I know 5 is out, but ports/ takes days to build). Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, like a play script.
