The DESTDIR directive will allow you to redirect your installworld to a different location, as for mergemaster IIRC this can be done (been a while since I was working on my embedded stuff that needed all this FreeBSD 6.something in about 8MB) but I can't remember what switches. It might be worth considering building /bin and /sbin dynamically (20oddMB to about 500kB), mind I can't remember where the required libs would be, if they're in /lib it'd be all good, if they're in /usr/lib you're stuck. All things considered I think your best option is to move / to a different partition. Should be relatively painless to do from a LiveCD, mount everything, duplicate / to somewhere else, modify fstab and the bootloader config, reboot. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
