Agreed, you have to # out all of the options in the Kernel and crunch.conf that aren't required, but 3.5 has all of the functions that I require. I've tried 4.1.1 without success and have gone to 4-stable to confirm my theory that 4x has too much built-in kernel bloat for a single-floppy build. As an aside, there was some traffic on using rl ethernet interfaces with PicoBSD. They work fine with Bridging as well, even though the documentation doesn't reflect it. I built a 3-way bridge to handle traffic from a Samba server connected to two subnets via the bridge. Downloading a 600+ Meg file to a PentiumII 300 running Windoze at 100% CPU utilization showed less than 0.1% CPU load on the bridge running a DX266 with a 12.5 MB/ sec data tranfer rate. I say less than 0.1% because most of the time ps -aux showed 0.0% Norm Audet support@thinserver.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
