Would it be heresy to suggest that perhaps the base for PicoBSD might want to be 2.2-STABLE? Or perhaps 3.5-STABLE? It seems this thread is spending a lot of time pondering ways around bloat. Put another way, what features have been added to FreeBSD that the PicoBSDers need? Might it be easier to back port them to an earlier release rather than to disable/remove the features not needed from a current release?? Just food for thought... -crl -- Chad R.
