Have you tried building with an src.conf file that includes: WITHOUT_GAMES='yes' It' not a matter of `kindergarten or not', but a matter of providing a predictable `base system' by default and all the knob and documentation to customize it at will. That's why you can find a lot of customization options in the manpage of src.conf(5). For example, on a `production server' that is a bit limited in space, and doesn't really need compilers, debuggers, profiling tools, or three different firewalls, I would probably build with: WITHOUT_CVS=yes WITHOUT_GAMES='yes' WITHOUT_GCOV=yes WITHOUT_GDB=yes WITHOUT_IPFILTER=yes WITHOUT_IPX=yes WITHOUT_OBJC=yes WITHOUT_PROFILE=yes WITHOUT_SHAREDOCS=yes I would also use WITHOUT_TOOLCHAIN=yes during `make installworld' runs, to skip installing all the gcc, g++ and debugger tools. The default `base system' still installs all these parts, but you are definitely *not* obliged to always install all of them. - Giorgos _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
