A quick googling of tinybsd, nanobsd and picobsd would have given you these links: http://www.tinybsd.org/tinybsd http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/nanobsd/index.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/nanobsd/howto.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PicoBSD Roland -- R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725)
