well, the most common response you will get around here is - why? well, I guess it is cute. With some judicious trimming, though, it should be possible. see the recent article http://www.bsdtoday.com/2002/March/Features646.html on making s cd-bootable freeBSD - the essentials don't change for a mini-cd, except that you may need to trim down the componentry to fit. 80MB is the given figure in Greg Lehey's book, as a rough guide, but that doesn't include XWindows. --- Steven Lake <raiden@shell.core.com> wrote: > Hi all.
