It is successfully used in embedded enviroments. pfSense (www.pfsense.com) use it either for creating an install livecd as well as embedded images for soekris-like machines. It can perfectly act as NanoBSD (the only difference is the partitioning scheme which is trivial to reproduce by customizing FreeSBIE's image script). Nobody of you mind importing the toolkit in the source tree? :) -- Dario Freni (saturnero_at_freesbie.org) FreeSBIE developer (http://www.freesbie.org) GPG Public key at http://www.saturnero.net/saturnero.asc
