It's not hard to trim it down even further.  My router runs off a 64MB
flash card and has a mostly complete FreeBSD system.  Only big thing I
had to rip out was gcc.

And this is FreeBSD 6.1, not 4.x.  With a full set of man pages!  And
screen, vim, nmap, rsync, and isc-dhcpd added!  And it's still only
using 38MB of the 64!

Okay so I sort of cheated and /usr is compressed with geom_uzip, but it
still amazes me how so much functionality can be contained in such
"little" (by today's standards anyway) space.
