Hi,
  
 From the beginning, I just install the base distribution 
of FreeBSD 5.4, no other package like man, games, compat4x.
  
 After make buildworld  installworld to Release 5.4 p12, 
it seems all of the world will be installed.( if I have 
a mistake, please tell me ! )
  
 So, how can I upgrade the machine with just the distribution 
I installed before ?
  
 Thanks !
 




make.conf(5) should help.  Of course, if you've not
installed the manpages, you'll have to find them
at the freebsd.org site

Maybe you should put those in, this time ;-)

These can all be tuned via /etc/make.conf (look at
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf or man 5 make.conf).
For instsance, if you don't want kerberos you would put
NO_KERBEROS=
in your /etc/make.conf and the same for games, cvs, gpib, et al.
