I have a FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE system installed on a 256M flash card. I did not install it in any special way - I just booted off CD and installed FreeBSD as if it were any other disk drive. I did not install the ports tree, and I did not install perl. I have 2.2 Megabytes of free space (although given the 10% pad, I suppose I really have something like 20 megs ...) Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 237806 216576 2206 99% / ----- So I need to install samba. I thought it would be easy - I went to another 5.4-RELEASE system, and did a `make package` in the samba ports directory ... but that did not work. It needs all sorts of dependencies, like perl and cups and jpeg and tiff ... So what do you suggest I do ? I will not be using the printing capabilities of samba, so I should not need cups ... and I have no idea why it depends on jpg and tiff ... and I would like to see if I can even install samba without perl ... but the most pragmatic approach would be that I need to build a cups-less (and hopefully tiff/jpeg-less) samba package, and also a perl package, and install them both ... the problem is space ... and god knows how many dependencies perl will have ... suggestions ?
