Well the only thing I would wish for at the moment is one or two additional distribution choices in the FreeBSD installer. "Minimal" takes up about 80 MB at the moment, but includes things you may not need on a truly minimal system (like e.g. compilers). It would be cool if a more detailed choice could be made during installation, say up to a granularity where you can decide whether or not you want Perl, or gcc, or sendmail, etc. That would render my guide almost obsolete, however. ;) Greets, Manuel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
