Check man make.conf(5) to set which parts of /usr/src you don't want compiled by buildworld, see also /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf for more explanations. Check man cvsup(1) to set which parts of the /usr/src you don't want updated by cvsup, see also /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse.README for more explanations. HTH Lars
