Hi Chris, Thanks for the response. I'm a bit confused on this then, as using the full FreeBSd 12.1 RELEASE distro, I was able to build a 90MB image of the mfsBSD with no problems and then it seems that you actually have to do a "make clean", "make extract BASE= ....." and then "cd into" the mini directory to do the "make iso ....", but some of the applications are not there. I will try as you suggest also Cheers On Sat, Jul 18, 2020 at 11:34 AM Chris Hill <chris@monochrome.org> wrote: > On Fri, 17 Jul 2020, Lonnie Cumberland wrote: > > > I am trying to learn my way through building the "mini" (about 27MB) > > mfsBSD (64-bit AMD) for FeeBSD RELEASE 12.1 and came across these > > instructions: > > > > > https://hashbang0.com/2019/02/07/setting-up-mfsbsd-for-receiving-zfs-snapshots-on-systems-with-low-memory/ > > > > ---------------------------------- > > root@bil-bsd # cd /var/tmp > > > > # Fetch the FreeBSD ISO > > root@bil-bsd # fetch > > > https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/ISO-IMAGES/12.1/FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso > > You downloaded the ISO for the full-fat FreeBSD.
