List of absolutely required files for FreeBSD?
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! -philip ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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...

Re: List of absolutely required files for FreeBSD?
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.
