You might want to take a look at PicoBSD ( /usr/src/release/picobsd , old docs at http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/picobsd.html, and the freebsd-small mailinglist ). It's designed to squish as much stuff onto a floppy image as possible. PicoBSD saves a lot of space by using no shared libs at all. Statically link all your apps into one huge monolithic binary, with a dummy main() that runs the right program based on argv[0]. man crunchgen and crunchide for more info. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
