How did you manage that? I've been doing lots of obscene things to these little cards and haven't worn one off yet. : As an aside: I've noticed the whole wanting to get FBSD onto a flash card : is now turning into a FAQ, and I do feel that it may have a place between : pico and 'full' FreeBSD. There may be some mileage in getting this together : as a makefile (so as to not inflame Jordan :) and getting it together : as.... a port? part of the CVS tree? I have a partial port written. I'll likely just finish that. But I need a good name. I thought of calling it FBSD, which is just a reduced FreeBSD, but that would be confusing. uFBSD also comes to mind :-). : I might be volunteering.... I'll have to work it out a bit more. What're : people's thoughts on this? I'll post what I have later today and people can make a go/nogo call on it.
