I spent a few } days trying to get freebsd to fit on a 48MB flash cartridge. I even hacked the 2.1.x version of "make release" to not put cc and friends in the "bin" part of the distribution (I put it in "compile" instead) and added a button in sysinstall to install it separately if desired. I've got machines that I will never use to compile any code, and I don't want anyone else compiling code on them either. BTW, I yanked out lpr, sendmail, uucp, and the r-commands as well. Not counting most of my local additions a fairly bare version of /usr is about 33 MB. Unfortunately it is a fairly major pain in the *ss to do this and maintain it while tracking the official source tree, since you have to keep doing "make release" and doing test installs which takes a lot of time and is not much fun.
