I would have to agree, there are mighty slim pickings on the picobsd website itself. Have a certain DSS project I'd love to get running on a small pc-appliance, thought Pico would be perfect. I don't know, might be easy for someone used to *nix, maybe I'll just work at Free. Not sure, but is Pico even being really used/worked on any more? Most of the docs and stuff all date back to 1998 or so. Basic question I guess I have is, should I actually invest time into Pico, or simply go with Free/Open? cio, g ---- "Richard Kaestner" <richard.kaestner@ycn.com> wrote: > Please don't beat for a novice' question ;=) > > As I understand from documentation, PicoBSD is > - based on "a quite old version" of FreeBSD ... > - has been merged to the "standard" FreeBSD sources and basically _is_ > BSD > - should run quite well on a 486/33Mhz, 16 - 32 MB > (not regarding application specific issues) > - "hard" real-time is not really a domain of *BSD > - I shold be able to build an embedded system, using the source tree > (after getting deeper into documentation ;=) ) > - and finally, develop application on a FreeBSD system, > create a package and > install it togehter with picoBSD in an embedded system > > Could anyone please correct my above statements (which are actually > questions!), > and give me pointers to recommended readings (besides the files supplied > in /usr/src/release/picobsd ) > > > After working already for some time on industrial control systems, > I would > like to make life easier, using a prooven, stable kernel (which since > late > last year, I think to know, BSD is). > > > Thanks for your help! > > > -- > ciao - > Richard > > "you have moved your mouse, please reboot to make this change take > effect" > > Richard Kästner > Woerthgasse 17 > 2500 Baden mailto:richard.kaestner@ycn.com > Austria > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message > __________________________________________________ FREE voicemail, email, and fax...all in one place.
