The wiki page is a good enough text as an initial mini-guide for tinybsd, but I think we can arrange it a bit, expand parts of it, and describe a few more tricks. What I had originally in mind was working with you towards what an article would include, i.e.: - Introduction - What is TinyBSD - Features of TinyBSD - How to obtain TinyBSD - Creating TinyBSD images - Building the base TinyBSD system - Post-build configuration of TinyBSD - Bundling ports & packages in TinyBSD images - Testing TinyBSD images - Updating TinyBSD images This sort of article would probably need a bit or re-arranging of the original Wiki text, but it seems like something very interesting for potential users of TinyBSD. Does the table-of-contents mock up shown above look ok? Would you add more sections/parts to it? - Giorgos
