Hi All, Recently I installed FreeBSD on an old 486/DX100 with a very small hard drive. I am planning to use it as a little bookshelf firewall to replace my p200 tower which just takes up too much space. At first I didn't think about system size, I re-built the basesystem with nothing disabled in the make.conf Now I am realizing I need to make this system smaller, I've disabled several things in the make.conf: NO_BIND= true # do not build BIND NO_FORTRAN= true # do not build g77 and related libraries NO_I4B= true # do not build isdn4bsd package NO_LPR= true # do not build lpr and related programs NO_SENDMAIL= true # do not build sendmail and related programs NOPROFILE= true # Avoid compiling profiled libraries NOUUCP= true # do not build uucp related programs And I'd like to rebuild the system & remove everything that is from the original build. Is there a supported way to do this? Any ideas appreciated. - Nick Jennings To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
