Hmm, I don't see it that way. It's not that different from what we have now when you build world with some options in your /etc/make.conf to prevent the build of e.g. bind, sendmail etc. I don't think having extremely fine granularity would be good, but some subsystems could be made into packages. Let's say 'base' with minimal stuff to get the system up, 'devel', which would include gcc and friends, sendmail, bind and others look good candidates for this. ipf[w] should always be in base, since they rely on being in sync with kernel, like other basic tools and libc. It's different from Linux distros where upgrading glibc to release du jour will break half of the installed software. Just my 2 cents. -- Miguel Mendez <flynn_at_energyhq.es.eu.org> http://www.energyhq.es.eu.org PGP Key: 0xDC8514F1
