I would like to know why TinyBSD was not mentioned in this agenda, if you do not consider adding this tool to FreeBSD officially. TinyBSD in a number of ways is easier and more direct to the point than NanoBSD (while NanoBSD seems more appropriated in other - few, to me - ways), and than FreeSBIE which is too much general purpose. In Health Depto in BR government we run TinyBSD a lot, while NanoBSD was tried first. I dont think it worths getting deep in the meriths of where/how/why one is better than one other, and where it is the opposite. But embedded systems have many different approaches and TinyBSD one seems to be easy. They also seem more tested because it has pre configured example for a number of use, including for PC Engine's WRAP board which is a pain to make work in NanoBSD and also FreeSBIE (in fact I gave up about freesbie on Wrap very soon). Well, hope this project can be moved from ports to src. It is useful for a number of people and would be much more useful for many others. -- =========== Eduardo Meyer dudu.meyer@gmail.com ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br
