It's not really feasible to create a "minimal" kernal, since "minimal" really depends on your hardware (the most obvious -- do you need ATA or SCSI to boot? which network drivers do you need?) The easiest way to create MIN is to take GENERIC and take out absolutely everything that you don't have or need. I think my best effort so far is on a little 486 gateway box for my home lan which weights in at 1.7MB. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
