It is almost dirt-simple to make your own tiny distro, mainly because all of the source you need is in once place under a common build system. I'm no UNIX expert, but I learned how to do it in one day by reading the pico scripts. I think that nowadays PicoBSD should be viewed as more of a learning tool than the last word on small FreeBSD. Most of the people using fmall FreeBSD in production today have their own custom system for building it. I had a toolkit I was working on and almost got to public release, but I left the employer who was paying me to do it and have not had time to work on it again. It will be finished...someyear. -- Jeffrey S. Sharp jss@subatomix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
