I'd just like to note a couple of things, as I go on my merry way to create my own release, and tools to do so. 1. If anyone has any interest in working on this, please feel free to contact me out side of this group, in private email. 2. Many people commented that sendmail, etc should all be left in, the more the merrier, and no harm done. I think that if the course for FreeBSD is to continue to create a dynamic, yet stable and friendly system, then considering the options of all kinds needs to be included in that. If you are someone who just wants a default install, then fine, they don't have to change anything, because a default install is already available. But for everyone else that wants to choose the applications we run, give us a better tool to do so. 3. Thanks for the pointers on the "release" tree. I have been digging through the /usr/src/release stuff, and the man pages on it. I will see if I can sort this one out, and build something. And thanks for the tip on the "bare" picobsd. 4. I will try a quick post in advocacy after I have worked on it a bit more. And yes, I realize this topic has gone past the framework of this forum, and I will take it elsewhere now. Thank you all again for your patience and comments. Peace. -Daniel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
