It is successfully used in embedded enviroments. pfSense (www.pfsense.com) use it either for creating an install livecd as well as embedded images for soekris-like machines. It can perfectly act as NanoBSD (the only difference is the partitioning scheme which is trivial to reproduce by customizing FreeSBIE's image script). Nobody of you mind importing the toolkit in the source tree? :) --=20 Dario Freni (saturnero@freesbie.org) FreeSBIE developer (http://www.freesbie.org) GPG Public key at http://www.saturnero.net/saturnero.asc --------------enigF60174883D20568F7055FDA3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFD4Serymi72IiShysRAqK2AJ9fiNtXlzHcpiDIBrGGT3QH+BCNxQCaAqvd bm3Meu90tj3qgOVPKS59mSI= =T553 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigF60174883D20568F7055FDA3--
