See /etc/defaults/make.conf: # To avoid building various parts of the base system: #NO_CVS= true # do not build CVS #NO_BIND= true # do not build BIND #NO_FORTRAN= true # do not build g77 and related libraries #NO_I4B= true # do not build isdn4bsd package #NO_IPFILTER= true # do not build IP Filter package #NO_LPR= true # do not build lpr and related programs ...which will allow you to build your own version of FreeBSD with only the base components you want, which you can then burn to a CD for use in installations. -- -Chuck
