This is my first experience in trying to run any form of bsd, and I don't know what files I can afford to delete or alter. Anything I have tried "breaks" it and I have to start over with a new disk image. The disk certainly is full, and the update utility does not work. There is no working space for the editor either. I can manually configure dialer and ppp access for each boot, but can't save the configuration. Can't download anything because of no space to put it. It's a can of sardines. Does anybody know how to trim the size of the whole thing down even a little bit, using only the floppy booted installaion itself to do so? Another question: Does PicoBSD (dial version) support: partition and format a hard drive, and then read and write to it (that is, if I can get the thing working)?
