Hello misc@,

I'm about to install OpenBSD onto an Edgerouter 6P - inspired by [1]. Since this router only has 4GB of eMMC, I'm wary of installing all sets.

FWIW, this is not the first time that I skip sets in an install, albeit that in those cases, issues came up afterwards. Particularly, I once chose to skip the X subsystem on one install only to find out that they are required for some ports. Considering that adding sets afterwards is a little more complicated than ftp && cp, I'm asking questions here before I find myself in that situation again.

So, I definitely will not ever find myself in a situation where I need X on the Edgerouter - I'm quite sure about that - thus, I can safely skip x*77.tgz. (right?) What about comp77.tgz? Is it possible that some ports - talking about pkg_add-ing them, not building them from source - require the "libraries" that come with comp? Quoting the FAQ here: "The compiler collection" (probably wouldn't want to compile anything on that CPU, too RISCy...) "headers" (won't need those then) "and libraries" (do I need them???).

Are my assumptions correct? Is there anything else to be aware of when skipping sets?

Not talking about game77 - I doubt anything depends on that :)
