Hi Poul

Can you give me some pointers as to what I should be disabling. 
I have been following the example here
http://elibrary.fultus.com/technical/index.jsp?topic=/com.fultus.freebsd.articles/articles/nanobsd/cover.html

the end result does not need to do very much, just do NPT, allow static
IP configuration, VI for basic config edits and allow SSH access 

I am new to bsd kernel configs so please forgive if these are dumb
questions  

1/ is there much I should be considering disabling in the generic
kernel 
(I am guessing that the raid, USB and SCSI stuff can go for starters )

2/ If I put my custom kernel config file in the same dir as nanobsd.sh
and reference it in my custom config file the script will take care of
the build for me?

3/ Do I need to add any patches for the EALN specific stuff and ELAN_PPS
or is that all already there in the generic kernel sources

Hmm, I have my beady eye firmly on the 128Mb one that's sitting on my
desk! is that an unrealistic goal if I am willing to forego the in place
upgrade feature 


BTW nanoBSD looks to be a very nice distro, I am glad that I have
discovered it as I am sure I will be using it again soon.
