Try looking at http://www.neon1.net/ There are two areas that you will find interesting. One is the "miniBSD" project, which was to do what you've been talking about (reducing the FreeBSD footprint). The second is "m0n0BSD", which builds on the above to create a FreeBSD suitable for embedded systems booting off Compact Flash. -crl -- Chad R.
