Greetings This is my firs post to the mailing list, if i make a newbe mistake i'm sorry in advance :) I would like to build a very custom system from FreeBSD, i looked at the sample make.conf file and read the related handbooks, but still i need more info. first i would like to know where i can find information on building a system tree inside a BSD installation, also is it possible to customize the system tree without breaking everything, as an example, let's say i would prefer the /etc to be located into the /system/etc and system binaries to be placed into /system/sbin if it is possible to build a custom system tree how would i proceed to reflect these changes to the ports collection and finally i would like to build a VERRY slim system without the build/package tools, i would like to know how to select the very basic files needed for the system to boot into a shell to start with and then install only the binaries needed for my operations. as an example i would not need for multi user support, but i would need networking, as WIFI and/or Bluetooth. Thank you in advance for any help or pointers that you can provide :) Sandro Noel
