Yeeeeech.] Of course, one could do it the way I installed -current on my laptop: Make a boot diskette, install the "minimal" distribution, install cvsup-bin, cvsup everything and recompile the whole works. Well, it's not terribly fast, but it works (a reliable ISP helps for those long download hours overnight....). Hmm, I wonder big an install set would be that was just big enough to talk to the world and cvsup everything (Anybody in the PicoBSD camp got any thoughts on that?). -- Dave -- David E.
