Peter,

I believe my project uses MKKKERBEROS=no USE_KERBEROS=no.  We omit a
lot of other things, too.

We are building small routers for CompactFlash.  We have an ugly script,
'mkstaboot', that builds NetBSD, pares it down, and then installs
routing and other software.  It is in our public source repository under
trunk/src/boot-image/.  Available for browsing:

    CVS: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wireless
    Subversion: http://svn.cuwireless.net/svn/cuw

or checkout:

    cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wireless login
    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wireless \
        co cuw-trunk

    svn checkout http://svn.cuwireless.net/svn/cuw/trunk

Luke Mewburn has a framework for building small systems in src/distrib/.
It's used for building crunched boot floppies and stuff.  My colleague
Bryan had started converting us to that, but he had to put the work aside.

If we can work together to make smaller CompactFlash routers, that
would be great.

Dave
