Good afternoon... I did a minimal install from a 4.7 mini disc (yes 4.7, but this question could be quite generic) and I was wondering what I got. I know from the sysintall help that a Minimal install is "just the base system." But what _functionality_ is provided by a *base system*??? I did an ls -lR from the root of my machine after the installation to see what files I got. I also added the man pages distribution, did another ls -lR, then added the ports collection and did a third ls -lR (this one was over 4 MBs, time to see if gzip is included with Minimal!!!). So I can lookup what files I got each time; and I figure I can /man/ every file /bin, /sbin, /whatever/bin but I was hoping that might already be documented somewhere. So far Googling and searching gmane.org have not shown-up anything like what I'm looking for (The Handbook's section 2.6 does not provide any detail either). Can anyone point me to a source? Or let me know what I should do with that info if I end-up compiling it myself? Thanks. -- Headed for the second star to the right and straight on 'til morning...
