Well, picobsd does have it - it's the startup media, be it a floppy or whatever. That's what the /stand/update command is for. We're slowly approaching some better solution to handle pieces of PicoBSD which are taken from /usr/ports - as it was now it was hardly acceptable because the process couldn't be automated (it required manual editing on the way). That's why I was reluctant to add it - see what it took to use ssh, or ucd-snmp... Speaking of which... I have also bad news for users of "net" version: I had to remove ucd-snmp from it, because it was way too large in its present (3.5.3) version. Sorry - if you really need it, you have to build your own version of the floppy. This of course again begs for some proper solution to easily add/remove components of a PicoBSD system, so that it wouldn't require each time having all the sources. I'm open for suggestions.. :-) Andrzej Bialecki -------------------- ++-------++ ------------------------------------- <abial@nask.pl> ||PicoBSD|| FreeBSD in your pocket?
