X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2003 21:30:08 -0000 Hi - I was wondering if there is a list of absolutely required files for FreeBSD? I'm trying to trim an installation down as small as possible (to put on Compact Flash). If I start out with just the 'bin' directory for the release there's around 100megs of files. Obviously a lot of them like ipfw I don't need. However, what about things like awk? I won't use it, but are there other parts of FreeBSD (ie /etc/rc.* files)? Is there a list somewhere that would help determine what files are used by FreeBSD for normal operation? Thanks! -philip
