Re: List of absolutely required files for FreeBSD?

[Sean Hafeez]

well i have been installing the normal + kernel dev package/src because 
i need to recompile the kernel. then remove the /usr/src and /usr/ports 
then go thru and trim the *share *docs *examples and end up with a 220mb 
system. i am quite sure that you can remove more.

256mb, but I'd like some extra room for some data files.

If I could get it down to say 80mb then I could use a 128mb card...

Hi -
        I was wondering if there is a list of absolutely required files
for FreeBSD?  I'm trying to trim an installation down as small as possible
(to put on Compact Flash).
If I start out with just the 'bin' directory for the release there's
around 100megs of files.  Obviously a lot of them like ipfw I don't need.
However, what about things like awk? I won't use it, but are there other
parts of FreeBSD (ie /etc/rc.* files)?
Is there a list somewhere that would help determine what files are used by
FreeBSD for normal operation?
Thanks!
