Hi all, I've just finished my guide on how to strip FreeBSD of "unnecessary" things without going as minimalistic as e.g. PicoBSD. I wanted something in between a FreeBSD "minimal" install (which still takes up about 80 MB) and PicoBSD. If you're interested, it's available on http://neon1.net/misc/minibsd.html I now have FreeBSD 4.6 running on my net4501 embedded PC from Soekris Engineering (on which the guide is based); the operating system takes up about 31 MB on the 64 MB CF card (including frills like perl, thttpd, dhcpd, ...); without perl it works out to about 21 MB - so there's ample space left for user data. I've tried not to sacrifice any important funcionality, and so you can ssh/ftp in like on a normal FreeBSD system, and most commands are available. I welcome any suggestions/feedback on how this guide could be improved. Greets, Manuel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
