I don't think you've seen very much in the way of PicoBSD in that environment because you don't need the PicoBSD approach when you have multiple megabytes of space. (That is, one large "crunched" binary containing all the programs you need to run; everything in an MFS disk.) I've built a couple of firewall systems that run off an 8MB flash disk. You just need to cut down the amount of stuff that the normal FreeBSD build process installs to something more managable in size. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
