I am building a BSD image fro= m scratch, as part of an automated process. I am not updating an existing s= ystem. I had been doing this by installing the base collection, plus our cu= stom kernel (as well as man pages and various packages). Now that we are al= so building "world", I don't need to install the base collection from the b= inary release. At least not everything in it. What *do* I need? Obviously e= tc and the copyright notice. Anything else? > > Ah, you _probably_ want to do 'make release' -- I have no experience with this however to be much more help if that _is_ what you need. --=20 Glen Barber
