Yes, the m0n0BSD has replaced all the /etc/rc.* files and various other hidie configurations with a single XML file, which is maintained and read by PHP scripts. miniBSD is more of a traditional "stripped down" FreeBSD, somewhere bigger than picoBSD but smaller than the live bootable CD. It will run out of someting like a 64MB CF card. -crl -- Chad R.
