This is why I would like a FreeBSD-Lite... Which is just the core essentials of FreeBSD with everything else (gcc, bind, bash, perl, openssl, openssh etc) coming from the ports. If I had the time, I would be so sorely tempted to roll my own *BSD distribution based on that idea.... FreeBSD without the fluff. I'd have to roll some kind of binary distribution channel as there is no system compiler ;) -- Antony T Curtis BSc Unix Analyst Programmer http://homepage.ntlworld.com/antony.t.curtis/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
