I think it would be worth while to try to generalize the pico-BSD scripts to deal with different target media sizes. That is, we're all worrying about what will fit on a 1.44MB floppy, when other bootable media are becoming more profligate. 2.88 Mbyte floppies, LS-120 "SuperDisk" floppies, 80 MByte mini-CDRoms, 680MByte CDRoms are all widely deployed bootable media. I still think that Pico-BSD ought to be bootable from read-only media, which might be what distinguishes it from just a pared-down RELEASE, but for some uses it might want to take up more than what a floppy can hold. -crl -- Chad R.
