As part of a minimal install is Perl included? Perl is included, although by now still Perl 4 (*). sh and csh are there, tcl is there starting with FreeBSD 3.0 (which is, of course, not yet available :). C and C++ are there, of course. f77 is there. ;-) (*) Don't rely on this version, and better write your scripts so they can work under both, Perl 4 and 5. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
