I noticed a project called "NanoBSD" in the freebsd handbook that is intended for exactly this purpose. I compiled & installed it just fine on 6.1 release, but my hardware wouldn't boot a CF card, so I was unable to verify that it worked.

Sounds like NanoBSD is to FreeBSD what m0n0wall is to Linux?

Hello,

I plan to install a FreeBSD 6.2 router/gateway/DHCP server on a EPIA box with 1GB Transcend IDE Flash drive. Since Transcend says that this device is capable of "10,000 insertion/removal cycles" I assume that I must minimize the number of writes to the drive. It is okay with me if I have to configure syslog to log to another machine.

Any suggestions/instructions how to achieve this? Any experienced users regarding this matter?

Thanks for ideas and help. Nejc
