What you mean under picoBSD ? Basically it is just a bunch of scripts to
automate assemling of crunched binaries, custom kernel and preparing 1-2
floppy images. As soon as we get new FreeBSD, it's just matter of time to
create `light' floppy-based custom system. The only way we can customize
it - bios or raw boot, set of software, set of drivers and configs, service
scripts. _Everything_ you need is some practice with `crunchgen' and
understanding startup procedure (that may be well learned trying to create
own picoBSD :-)  And of course quick look at picoBSD scripts (kvm stuff,
creating MFS image ect...) After that you choose set of binaries you'll need
and have fun fitting it on a single 1.44 or 2x1.44.
I had some time with it and made few varients - 2x1.44 with perl, httpd,
lynx, LAN, tcpdump, nmap, satan ; 1x1.44 with simplest remote access (async,
pppd) server ; 1x1.44 with sendmail/bind. Email me if you want try it. It is
still not enough tested :-)

Best regards,
Sergey
