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 --- Julian H. Stacey jhs@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/
