  In the /tarballs/srcdist directory of my FreeBSD 1.0 CD, there are the
following groups of files.

base		bin
contrib		etc
games		gmu
include		lib
libexec		sbin
share		sys
usrbin

  Which would be the ones I would need to recompile my kernel? Having only 16M
free and needing some of that for my C++ work, I can't install it all or even
most. (What's total install, 60M?) but I want to go through my kernel and
remove all the redundant and unneeded devices.
  And the first wise acre who says I need GAMES to do kernel work gets a
virtual poke in the eye. <grin>
