I have in the past safely commented out the games and kerberos lines in the cvsup supfile. You could also use /usr/sup/refuse to list the files you don't want to pull down via cvsup. I don't know about blowing away the games tree, i doubt anything would break (but i'm not going to test it for you ... i like fortune too much) ;) and I can't comment on what other files you could refuse/delete. here is my refuse file if you're curious doc/es* doc/ja* doc/ru* doc/zh* doc/fr* ports/chinese* ports/german* ports/japanese* ports/korean* ports/russian* ports/vietnamese* www/es* www/ja* www/ru* www/zh* data/es* data/ja* data/ru* data/zh* www/data/es* www/data/ja* www/data/ru* www/data/zh* src/share/doc/es* src/share/doc/ja* src/share/doc/ru* src/share/doc/zh* -- This is my ~/.signature file.
