Adding utilities to install environment



Greetings -

I am trying to add some things to the OpenBSD install environment, like: 
awk, telnet, ssh, sftp, and tftp.  I am modifying 
src/distrib/{arch}/common/list to add the files which I want included.  
Some executables like awk compile okay, but others like telnet and ssh 
fail on various libraries.  When I try to compile a release with just 
awk added in everything goes smoothly until it reaches the 
'distrib/{arch}/ramdiskA' directory and then stops because the file 
being copied is larger than the allocated size (that of a normal 
floppy).  So my questions are:

1) Are the installbin files specially selected so crunchgen will produce 
a binary which can fit on a floppy?
2) Is there a way to select which installbin files go on which floppy?
3) What is the best way to modify the Makefiles so that the other 
programs like telnet and ssh can be compiled in also (maybe modify the 
-L flag for crunchgen in some random Makefile)?

Sorry for my ignorance, thanks for your help!
(should this be in misc?)

thanks again,
  -erik
