all,
 
i run a small computer, for various reasons. i was wondering if it was 
possible to cut out teh chunks of teh "/usr/ports/" tree, it took some three 
hours to install. this machine is a i386dx33 with 8 mb dram and an esdi hard 
drive (345 mb).

i've trageted teh language specific ports to go first, followed by most of teh 
x11 related stuff with a sever culling of games and more than a carefull look 
at whats left.

is thier a special technique i would need to use or would just rm'ing teh 
relevent directories be sufficient (i realise i'd have to check on packages 
dependancies first --- is thier an easy way to do that, in freebsd v2.2-stable 
?).

with regards and much thanks

jonathan
