Make the locate database build a tiny bit slower, I suppose. rock the bloat/don't rock the bloat You can rebuild the base system from scratch by following the whole cvsup, buildworld, kernel business. Note what can be not installed in /etc/make.conf (I think you still have a partial reference living in /etc/defaults/make.conf on 4.11, though I may have forgotten.) -- --
