Well, the kernel I work with for embedded stuff is under 16Kb if you don't want multi-tasking :-) It's actually only 4Kb minimum... even QNX/VxWorks ( the big competitors to NT in this case) are way under 1Mb if you run them stripped... take a look at www.qnx.com. They've got a full version with TCP/IP, windowing system, web brwoser, web SERVER, and a few other things that fits on a floppy :-) Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli | petrilli@amber.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
