Hi, while trying to revise picobsd configuration etc, i notice a fair amount of space on the boot floppy is eaten by: 1) the loader configuration files in /boot 2) the files in /etc For #1, it appears that we can save gzipped versions of these files on the floppy, and the loader is happy to read them without any problem so i would suggest for post-3.4R the above change to the "stage1" script. This saves some 15-20KB i think For #2, i was just made aware of the existence of "minigzip" which can be probably used when extracting most things from the /etc/ directory on the floppy, and then used back during the "update" phase ? cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
