We did not copy all the essential libraries in /usr/lib yet. These are not listed in minibsd.files because the list of required libraries depends on which binaries you have installed. In an earlier version of this guide, we would just copy all libraries in /usr/lib and then remove those that we were sure would not be required (e.g. *.a). That still left a lot of unnecessary libraries (about 5.9 MB with FreeBSD 4.6) lying around. If you use my file list (minibsd.files), the libraries that are absolutely necessary weigh in at 3.2 MB - so that means another 2.7 MB saved.
