You can create syspkgs via "build.sh ... syspkgs".  You can use the
pkg_* tools to experiment with adding or removing syspkgs, but you will
probably encounter problems.  (Use "-K /var/db/syspkg" or set PKG_DBDIR
in the environment, to ensure that syspkgs use a separate database from
pkgsrc pkgs.)

There is no easy way of choosing a subset of syspkgs, installing them,
or updating them.  If you are willing to experiment and to deal with
some small problems, it is possible to use syspkgs to set up a small
bootable system.
