That's not really a question of the build itself but rather about
packaging and installation. I.e. not everything the build generates is
necessary to boot/run/use a given system.
You don't need to install everything, but you should build it - knowing
something "big" builds is a good first step towards good quality code.
It's frequent that your small mod somewhere breaks things big time
elsewhere - that's why you build all even if you don't plan to use all.
The appliance community,
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/appliances/
and [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be able to give more details
on "minimization", for install/use.
