As a relative newcomer to FreeBSD I am planning a 'make buildworld' for

attempt will be in a virtual machine), I am wondering whether it is
possible to be at all selective about what is built.

I have read the handbook section thoroughly, and shall follow the
procedure recommended. I have also consulted 'man make.conf', but have
been unable to establish an answer.

For example, I do not require 'games'.

Is there a way of achieving this?


Ah, src.conf. That's what I missed!. Thank you so much Gary, and sorry if
it was a silly question.
