    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!
