I've never seen it in use but it sounded like it should be healthy competition for "Tom's Root/Boot" -- a Linux disk that enables networking, NFS, and carries some common tools such as tar that one might need in a disaster case. The engines led to http://www.freebsd.org/~abial/ but the page is simply gone. Has the installation floppy taken the place of picobsd? Was I really looking for another tool entirely? Please copy my direct mail; I'm new to this account and don't want to flood it with mailing lists quite yet. * Heather Stern * System Administrator * star@rsv.ricoh.com * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
