Hi, I did actually download this but haven't gotten around to trying it yet. I'm not sure what niche this is trying to fill, but I certainly encourage all distro makers. There's just so much stuff out there, it's impossible to target and support it all in a single .iso file. And yes, your .iso is extremely small, so I have no idea how much is in there. Nothing wrong with minimal, but minimal ain't popular! ;-)
BTW, I sympathize with trying to grab sources. Stating the obvious, it's more helpful to have them, of course, but collecting and verifying it all is very very tedious. If I can be of any help finding the sources to specific pieces, please email me. I've done some of this myself over the years, so I know how confusing it can be to those who haven't dug through the dark corners of the InnerTubez.
