Might I suggest that we start a new directory for this on the http://www.freebsd.org/small/ pages? I'll be updating them shortly to reflect the new stuff we've had done recently. I'd be happy to add a tinybsd directory to it. Uploading files, such as sources won't be bad. If it works well, we can add it to the /usr/src/release alongside picobsd. Patrick "Jeffrey S.
