    Dear Sirs:

    Is there a way I can do a "make/install buildworld" without Perl being
    reinstalled? Not that I want it gone, I just want it to remain totally
    untouched.

    I think I am going to give an upgrade to 8.10R a try (reluctantly), from
    4.9R; but I cannot afford to have my rather comprehensive Perl modules
    messed with/deleted/upgraded/whatever. In fact, I rather not do a
    "make/install buildworld" at all. That is, I rather not have any userland
    program touched, like sendmail, etc. Basically, I just want to upgrade the
    kernel (and use the upgraded ata(4) driver, to have support for the VIA
    8237).

    I came up with the following supfile:

    *default host=cvsup.uk.freebsd.org
    *default base=/usr
    *default prefix=/usr
    *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_10
    *default delete use-rel-suffix
    *default compress
    src-all

    Will this do what I want?

    Thanks,

    - Mark
