If you have to ask, you shouldn't be doing it. Why would you possibly need to get smaller than the baseXX, etcXX and manXX sets? These easily fit on a few hundered MB. What modern flash disk won't fit this? Seriously, stop overthinking it. If you primary goal is to use flash (not necessarily to remove files), look at something like flashrd. -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net/
