Sorry for this, but it is *not* clear from the FAQ, what the differences are. BTW From some Postings I saw, that the FreeBSD 1.1 should have shared libs, what does this mean for space Requirements ?? It should cut space back by around 15MB, bringing you to 65MB total for a very minimal system. Note that neither this nor the original total includes swap space, which you can have a lot or a little of depending on your configuration. If you assume a fairly healthy 16MB of swap, then you can count on everthing fitting VERY TIGHTLY on an 80MB drive! Jordan
