Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 01:04:33 -0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 25 Apr 2001 01:04:33.0493 (UTC) FILETIME=[B07D6050:01C0CD23] Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've installed FreeBSD-PC98 4.2 on my laptop so that I can configure it as a firewall with NAT for my home network. After much frustration (much of it do to pccard stuff) I was able to set up a basic firewall. Now I would like to do the installation again so as to make the laptop more secure, have a smaller kernel, and take up less HD space. How can I install only the minimum services needed for me to run my firewall with NAT? I know this simple question probably has a not so simple answer. But I've only been introduced to FreeBSD three days ago so any hlep would be appreciated!
