Please??? Currently, you even need 400 MB for a full ``make release'', plus the CVS tree, if you wanna go with the /usr/release/Makefile. If all you need is _a_ boot floppy (not _the_ boot floppy from the distribution), simply make a ufs floppy, put at least /kernel and /sbin/init there (or /stand/sysinstall, should you prefer), and go with it. RTFM crunchgen/crunhide for an effective way to tie your necessary binaries together. Don't forget to reduce the default amount of i-nodes on the floppy when newfsing it. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
