If i look at something like opensoekris, flashbsd or picobsd it looks in a file which apps are wanted, and then searches the libs to go with it. I don't know yet how big this nanobsd will be. But if we use something like or picobsd like crunch conf to select the programms we need, and only install these. I think this would be a nice to have feature. Just have some default with all the important apps and let a user select more? Robert - my 2 euro cents -- Microsoft: Where do you want to go today? Linux: Where do you want to go tomorrow?
