As I'm pursuing these matters as well, I've
As has been mentioned, the FreeBSD source tree as shipped isn't configured
for minimization without a fair amount of effort. However, there are a
number of larger components, typically maintained by third parties, that
are build-time removable, and are typically arguments to the build

Look in src/(contrib/)?/(usr.)?s?bin/prog
for the source. Some things are a bit more tricky, and might be in a
sub dir like bootpgw is in src/libexec/bootpd/bootpgw. But it's all in
the source.

Hey all,
I'm new to this mailing list and I'm certainly no FreeBSD hacker.
I'm hoping one of you can help me out.
I'd like to say I am a former linux user, but I'm not there yet.
I currently run a linux from scratch box.
I'd like to migrate to FreeBSD.
