Subject: Guide to reducing FreeBSD (a.k.a miniBSD :)

Hi all,

I've just finished my guide on how to strip FreeBSD of "unnecessary"
things without going as minimalistic as e.g. PicoBSD. I wanted something
in between a FreeBSD "minimal" install (which still takes up about 80
MB) and PicoBSD. If you're interested, it's available on

http://neon1.net/misc/minibsd.html

I now have FreeBSD 4.6 running on my net4501 embedded PC from Soekris
Engineering (on which the guide is based); the operating system takes up
about 31 MB on the 64 MB CF card (including frills like perl, thttpd,
dhcpd, ...); without perl it works out to about 21 MB - so there's ample
space left for user data. I've tried not to sacrifice any important
funcionality, and so you can ssh/ftp in like on a normal FreeBSD system,
and most commands are available.

I welcome any suggestions/feedback on how this guide could be improved.

Greets,

Manuel
