All of the useful PicoBSD documentation is pretty-much in the manpage and in a few files under /usr/src/release/picobsd/; it's just a way of building a FreeBSD OS that is stripped way down. > Can anyone advise me as to how much of FreeBSD I need to load before > there are interesting games for 10 year olds in the games ports? With X and the lang/python port, the games/pysol port has a many dozens of solitare card games that I would have liked at 10, but it might not do much for today's kids. And games/scrabble is about the only other one I've tried except xboing which would be fun but no longer works for me. games/xbill could be considered educational, I suppose. :)
