What services do you want in your "standalone" configuration? You will need to decide this and select your applications carefully. There are several options to try and save space--some of which will require some development work. If you have plenty of RAM, but limited flash, _and_ you can't fit what you need into the flash that you have, one option might be to add a method to extract a memory-based root filesystem from a compressed image in flash--or something like that. > compile/RAMDISK/netbsd + distrib/sandpoint/floppies/ramdisk/ramdisk.fs works > well on your system? except for sysinst problems, yes. But that image is designed to help you install the system, it is not meant to run the system for any sophisticated tasks--most applications there have some functionality removed in order to make the image smaller. -allen -- Allen Briggs [email protected] http://www.wasabisystems.com/ Quality NetBSD CDs, Sales, Support, Service NetBSD development for Alpha, ARM, M68K, MIPS, PowerPC, SuperH, XScale, etc...
