When are they going to make the FreeBSD install configurable enough to not have to include sendmail, bind, openssl, etc? I choose to either install these apps as ports, or not at all. Is there a way to break down the install, and just get a bare bare bare bones install of just base, crypto and man pages, like the install says it's going to do? I can't imagine this would be too hard to do! If anyone has any information about the future plans on changing the install process, I'm all ears.
