Yes i know, but i was thinking of shrinking it more. Just install what is needed. things like dd, pax, mount_(obscurefs and unneededfs) etc just to name a few which i don't need on my machine 32 mb flash card. But i know it should be configurable enough and have a base to work from. Is there a list of progs which get installed with libs etc? I have seen the make.conf with mostly everything NO_${SOMETHING}=yes But i think this methode is reverse of what i want. I make a list of programs i need sh, ifconfig, wicontrol, mount etc for my "appliance". And have a script which lists all libs needed. This way i think i have trimmed down FreeBSD to a bare minimum for my system. So now it's image fits on a 32 mb flash card (with room to spare). Robert -- Microsoft: Where do you want to go today?
