I have a system that has one file system on it (eg everything is on /). I'm finding that a lot of space is wasted on the multiple static copies of libc in /sbin and /bin. I was thinking about building, for this system only, /bin and /sbin dynamic. Has anybody ever done this? What are the implications of doing this. I can't think of anything that would stop this from working, but I thought I'd run it by people here. I'm aiming to have a system that is part way between PicoBSD and normal FreeBSD in terms of size. I need more flexibility than the PicoBSD crunchgen binary has to offer, but don't nee all of FreeBSD for the application I'm deploying. Comments?
