Maybe I want to remove gcc, binutils whatever. I think the base-system should be pkg-based.

So you easily can remove parts from the base system, like openssh, ipfw, ipf, bind, sendmail and so on. This couldn't be too hard to implement. :) ..snip.. Johan, 1. DON'T TOP POST, follow Netiquette (and trim what you quote). 2. WRAP your lines, this is a traditional Unix based list -- lines less than 79 characters long, thank you very much 3. Thank you for starting the monthly bikeshed. If you don't know how much a bikeshed this is (or even what a 'bikeshed' is), go read the archives. 3. Sounds like you want Linux with its RPM's, not BSD. We consciously don't wrap the base system in pkg_add tarballs. We generally LIKE the entire system being a single integrated blob. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
