What arch were you doing? What other things went onto the package? FreeBSD itself, without compilers, should clock in around 300MB. I have no problem bumping the size. Today it's hard to buy something smaller than 16GB (though there's a lot of lots of 4GB and 8GB on amazon, the sweet spot for price has moved to 32GB). It's likely time. I like to keep it small because the images are copied around and that takes up space. Warner
