The tools involved here are already part of the base system (except they got manually removed, which renders the OS somehow incomplete).

However, resource limitations might be a problem - even though nobody admits this possibility today anymore. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
