Let me try again. > For someone who doesn't want to be preached to about the benefits of IPv6, you certainly do a lot of preaching about not wanting IPv6. :) You've been given the tools to do exactly what you want: - comment out IPv6 support in the kernel config file - add WITHOUT_IPV6=yes to /etc/src.conf - rebuild the world and kernel Voila! A version of FreeBSD made especially for you, without any traces of IPv6. Does exactly what you want.
