Thanks,I need to make a few FreeBSD boxes, these will all be limited in disk
space,
and act as firewall/router. (pentium and 300M disk)
What I want is a limited operating system that has only the essential
networking stuff, shell, and a custom kernel but for example no BIND and
CVS.
For very few boxes just making an 'ideal' machine and cloning may be easiest.
For a few boxes - Do a man sysinstall - and see the scripting section. Or see this example:
http://www.horseplay.demon.co.uk/freebsd_post_sysinstall.html
for more complex setups - e.g. booting an install image off the net using PXE boot or an etherboot floppy - see
