as one with a long list of WITHOUT_foo=YES in /etc/src.conf, this is tempting. but, as you hint, is this not just doubling the number of borders over which we can argue? but let's get concrete here. i suspect that my install pattern is similar to others o custom install so i can split filesystems the way i prefer, enabling net & ssh o pkg_add -r { bash, rsync, emacs-nox11 } (it's not a computer if it does not have emacs) o hack /etc/ssh/sshd_conf to allow root with password o rsync over ~root o hack /etc/ssh/sshd_conf to allow root only without-password o rsync over my standard /etc/foo (incl make.conf and src.conf) and other gunk o csup releng_X kernel, world, doc, ports o build and install kernel and world and then do whatever is special for this particular system. anything which would lessen/simplify the above would be much appreciated. anything not totally obiously wonderful which would increase/complicate the above would not be appreciated. randy _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
