> I have written and made available to the FreeBSD documentation project a > document on installing and running FreeBSD in embedded environments. I've built a small FreeBSD-based firewall/NAT box which runs fairly comfortably from an 8MB compact flash card. Two techniques which gain back a bunch of space are: - gzip the kernel, since /boot/loader can uncompress it as it loads. Big win here. - build all of the programs which are usually staticly link to use shared libraries instead. This gains back a bunch of space as well. Since everything lives in a single partition, it's not like the dynamic linker isn't going to be there. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
