Build yourself a full release on USB and just be done with it. The project keeps deleting stuff from base I find very useful, I have given up on releases as a tool, I build a stick install and tweak all the things I need, image it "just in case" and keep it around for emergencies, and daily special use. A new stick is created for each release. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
