Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, Well, I'm back on-line after the first part of my vacations.. :-) It was really lovely two weeks in Tunisia... Now for my nearest plans: * I just received a flash disk (16MB, M-Systems, ISA card), thanks to Goran Hasse of Raditex, SE - I'll be experimenting with it till it starts working... :-) (i.e. I want to boot from it, and somehow access it to store the config data). I also plan to read the docs about Linux implementation of Flash Filesystem (romfs). Any pointers appreciated! * I'm also pretty convinced there are enough things to be fixed, and enough new features requested, that it's time for the new PicoBSD release to be cut. If you have any specific requests (or better yet - some code to be included :-), it's now the right time... One thing that should be discussed before this is the use of DEVFS/SLICE framework. It mightily simplifies the layout, saves some considerable space on the MFS, let's you avoid problems with device nodes you forgot to create, etc... The only problem is that I'm afraid it's not integrated fully with 2.2.x line... Dinesh? Julian? * When we're through with PicoBSD 0.3x (x>1), I'd like to try to prepare a starter's toolkit for mini-FreeBSD (something like an NC, X-terminal and Java-capable browser, all installed on a file)...
