Hello Mark,

It's only very loosely based on PicoBSD. It loads most of the boot image
from a web server rather than trying to cram everything (in a more limited
way) onto a floppy. The configuration (utilities included) is also a lot
less static, no recompile+reboot is required if you want to add or remove
a program.

I've mentioned it a few times here in the past 2 weeks, if you're new to
the list then let me know and I'll forward you a couple of the messages...

Cheers.
