I built a good fixit floppy today using the crunch stuff. I used the fixit definition in the crunch sources examples directory.. it basically includes the universe.. as a compressed executable, it 'is only 500k, and includes everything you could want including vi. check out the definition in /usr/src/usr.sbin/crunch/examples I used it today.. works fine and I had 700k left for actually writing on in the disk. (which I needed for that problem). I'll be cleaning it up and puting it into the release makefile so it gets built along with the other floppies...
