Hi all,
we are developing a small set of scripts that are based on minibsd 
(http://neon1.net/misc/minibsd.html) .

If you want to try they try to build a small about 10-12M FreeBSD env suitable 
to be "flashed" on some embedded system.

It should work both on 4.x and 5.x branch as well.
The work is still in progress and we think to assimilate later (when it will 
be finished) in the freesbie project (www.freebsdie.org) .

Btw also in this first stage of development it is full suitable to build a 
small, compact, customizable FreeBSD minidsitrib.

I attach all the scripts here...
If you want to modify something please check the config.sh file.
