Minibsd is fine - I am currently running 4.11 I am using a slightly larger subset of the utilities than the minibsd page recommends, but I also am only using a 32Mb Cf card. ( 2mb for a configuration save partition and the rest for the system, with about 20Mb actually used in total)
It is a very usable system for embedded monitoring purposes etc. As a learning tool, you must remember that there is limited r/w capabilities in the minibsd default setup.. It would be possible to add almost everything from the command line world into minibsd system but I think that any windowing environment would need too much r/w space to be truely useful. my 2c worth. mjt > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Henrik Andersen > Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 12:12 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: freebsd in flashdrive > > On 1/19/06, acid burn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi! after doing a lot of searching on how can I install or > create my mini > > freebsd in flashdrive, I found this mailing list..
