Future intelligent toast makers aside, why do you want to do this? You aren't going to save much memory unless you're running on some 486 based system, and you will have created a frankensystem, that is one which the OpenBSD community isn't going to be enthusiastic about helping you. You are free of course to make mods, but please understand that you are on your own for them. I suppose it could also be said that if you need help in turning ipv6 off, you shouldn't--learn first how things work before making such a modification. I don't think most of the people reading this are ipv6 fans, either. --STeve Andre'
