thanx for responding
our compiles of our personal apps were done on 4.5 w/ flags -O for optimization and -o to produce a specific file name.
These personal apps are batch programs which do not make use of any special libs, only the libraries associated with the gcc runtime and support files.
The gcc runtime routines are shared libraries which are not available under PicoBSD. Link your programs with -static and you'll have better luck. The Pico images on the web site are very old, they haven't been updated since Pico was merged into the main FreeBSD source tree. You'd be much better off building an image yourself.
You might find thewall.sf.net of interest, it's a FreeBSD/PicoBSD based firewall that's built from the 4.5 release sources.
These personal apps use less than 40 megs on machines that are diskless booting pico but these diskless machines have modre than 384 MB of RAM.
The way we're using pico is that we downloaded the latest version from the picoBSD site and just burned it to floppy then booted each diskless machine.
thanx again for any assistance.
