texlive-collection-basic requires Perl to be removed

[Jordan Geoghegan]

Yes, of course, I didn't realize the installer environment was the only 
thing you evaluated.

bsd.rd install kernel is not meant for troubleshooting/testing or 
administrative use. It _is_not_ a "live cd" or live environment meant 
for doing anything other than installing the system.

Thanks for bants, this has been fun.

Cheers,
