Re: Adding utilities to install environment

[Peter Hessler <phessler@theapt.org>]

FWIW, I used to do something like this with FOAF, but I have since 
abandonded the project.  Check out http://theapt.org/openbsd/foaf.html 
for information that may/may-not be useful.

You *WILL* run into space problems.  ssh won't fit, tcpdump won't fit, 
the shell is way too big, etc, etc.

:I am trying to add some things to the OpenBSD install environment, like:

:awk added in everything goes smoothly until it reaches the 
:'distrib/{arch}/ramdiskA' directory and then stops because the file

: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)?
