I've actually wanted to use src/release/freebsd/ for the "official" FreeBSD release bits so that src/release/fooBSD could be used for the "foo" dist. picoBSD really should move more to a nano type model if it stays around anyways. Using splitfs should make it much easier to keep picoBSD around actually, and to do what some people have long wanted: have the release floppies actually be a 'release' picoBSD dist. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
