If so, it's the simplest. The other extreme, if you must use full standalone, is like this : o build your own release ('make release'). o repackage 'bin' and 'crypto' directories in ftp directory of the release to trim the size (disk requirement will go well below 20mb). o using this release, do 'minimum' install using ftp or nfs. With whopping 100mb given, there are many schemes in between (say boot from disk, nfs mount /usr and others). > Thank's all! > Good luck horio shoichi
