You can change the passwd before PicoBSD is built, if you're building it off a FreeBSD machine. > Does the source for PicoBSD is open? If yes, where can I get it? Yes it is. It's built from the kernel and some userland utilitie http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/release/picobsd/ Everything you need should be there. You should be able to change the root password before the floppy is built. > Does the PicoBSD support some add-ons such as gcc or perl? It "supports" them, but you're gonna have a hard time fitting them on a PicoBSD floppy. You're gonna have a harder time editing and storing files on a floppy :) What exactly is it you want to do? -- Philip Reynolds | RFC Networks Ltd. philip.reynolds@rfc-networks.ie | +353 (0)1 8832063 http://people.rfc-networks.ie/~phil | www.rfc-networks.ie
