Nano is still too big by default (unless you pull almost every feature and non-essential piece, the lowest I've gotten a running image so far is 124MB unpacked with a GENERIC kernel. Granted, if it wasn't GENERIC that would save 10~20 MB, but there are still other things that need to be trimmed from the base system (another effort for another day/thread). ... > true, though I'd like to see if it can be done without the whole extra CD.. Should be doable with a ~64MB USB stick. I did an ok job [without NanoBSD/PicoBSD] creating a thin client with X11 with ~140MB space used and I wasn't trying terribly hard to pare things down (especially if it's a compressed mfsroot :]…). -Garretthome | help
