I removed the offensive strip and Pico-BSD loaded up to shell. Consequently, I am now also able to load up some floppy-based Linux OSs that didn't load up before. Thanks for the help, folks. As some others on this list pointed out, I won't be able to accomplish my goal using Pico-BSD. Does anyone know of a floppy-based installation of BSD, sort of like the Slackware/ZipSlack Linux projects, where I can pick and choose which modules to install? ===== Sevag Krikorian -=[Kain]=- http://www.geocities.com/kahlinor/index.html __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

The m0n0BSD project allows you to pick and choose what is installed, and boots/runs off a CD-ROM. No hard drive required, a floppy holds the configuration file, all user interface is Web (php/xml) based. http://www.m0n0.ch/bsd/ -crl -- Chad R.

It is sufficient to launch a local X server and a single client, or to query a remote xdm server. By default, the port installs in a /var/tmp directory so that the resulting files can be easily copied to their final destination (ramdisk, flashdisk, etc ...) The only video driver compiled in by default is for a Via integrated chipset, but this can easily be changed. A tarball of this port can be downloaded from here: http://www.thinbsd.org/download/Xorg-thinbsd-2004-05-31.tar.gz Feedback would be welcome ! -- Francois Tigeot
