There is only buildit.s, settings.s, and rc.custom.gz.

Search the list archive for some of the paramaters in rc.custom, say,
search for BZ, you'll probably find what you need.

Awk is used for many internals, you cannot run the buildit.s without it.
It serves instead of expr, and "cut" "grep" "split" and "wc" use it.

I have to tell you not to hold your breath, it is probably at leaste 6-9
months before I'm even going to think about adding this requiest to the
to-do list... if you want better commenting, you may have to do it
yourself... I recommend you use the list archive search.
You should remove: (1) emacs or vi, whichever you don't like. (2)
dmsdos.o and dutil, if you don't use doublespace, (3) anything in
/usr/lib/modules you don't use, such as ntfs.o or scsi modules. I don't
recommend removing awk, it is too useful, and required for buildit.s.
