-current dropped from the Cc: list.  This is most interesting for
freebsd-small users, than -current subscribers.

My original email was an offer to help with the details of doing this.
It wasn't explicitly stated, but it is now :)

The wiki page is a good enough text as an initial mini-guide for
tinybsd, but I think we can arrange it a bit, expand parts of it,
and describe a few more tricks.

What I had originally in mind was working with you towards what an
article would include, i.e.:

	- Introduction

		- What is TinyBSD
		- Features of TinyBSD

	- How to obtain TinyBSD

	- Creating TinyBSD images

		- Building the base TinyBSD system

		- Post-build configuration of TinyBSD

		- Bundling ports & packages in TinyBSD images

	- Testing TinyBSD images

	- Updating TinyBSD images

This sort of article would probably need a bit or re-arranging of the
original Wiki text, but it seems like something very interesting for
potential users of TinyBSD.

Does the table-of-contents mock up shown above look ok?  Would you add
more sections/parts to it?
