Unless the man pages are out of date and inaccurate this used to be done with make.conf and NO_MODULES. I thought this had been moved into src.conf, but I don't see it in the man page for src.conf. man make.conf for details, as it is also possible to control which modules you want or do not want built as well. -Mike _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
