80M is the same size as my emergency boot disk.
So I'm mailing you my script that I use to copy my
{ 3 Gig system with every port installed } that strips & tears away
at a reduced copy, rather like a `Raptor' until there's just sufficient
left to fit on an 80M boot disc, so it can be used as an X capable FreeBSD box.
The script is not good enough to be published,
feel free to generalise & publish it :-)
Julian
