I like the "build" mechanism more than "make" mechanism, or, maybe I just couldn't make "make" mechanism work. Search the mailing lists: -stable, -small. I've sent some patches. Maybe I'll open a PR when I come home. The problem is that no one seems to maintain it. Can you hear me, -stable? The problems: -Needs to define NOIPSEC for some tools to build. -There's no more "more", use less and ln less more -The /etc is compressed, either don't compress it, or remember to decomress it when booting and remember to compress it when using "update". -update script does something weird in order to set the device. just use "/dev/fd0" and that's it. These are the patches I've sent. I only worked with "net" flavor though. Something else I didn't fix: - missing /dev entries. I really like PicoBSD. I'm planning to use it as ipnat/ipfilter gateway when I'll finally get a cable connection.
