I should have clarified my scenario better. I am building a BSD image from = scratch, as part of an automated process. I am not updating an existing sys= tem. I had been doing this by installing the base collection, plus our cust= om kernel (as well as man pages and various packages). Now that we are also= building "world", I don't need to install the base collection from the bin= ary release. At least not everything in it. What *do* I need? Obviously etc= and the copyright notice. Anything else?
