This installation will only be used to transfer files across the network onto a larger disk. Basic firewall/nat functionality would be good also. So my question is: Would it be better for me to use the router/net PicoBSD, or should I simply try creating a minimal installation by hand. IE: with the flash configured as the slave drive, newfs'ing and copying things over, and then moving it back to master.. The smallest FreeBSD installation I've done is 220M... so this totally new for me. I would appreciate any pointers (or pointers to documentation) that you can give me.
