Hi Ian
Do you have a website were you publish your concept?
That would be nice wouldn't it? Unfortunately, no, I never had time to
do that.
yes it would :-). I sucessfully have now an minimalistic system. Solving
problems with files not identified while root-FS mounted ro (currently
3)
Hi Neil,
You could use find to copy all symlinks, then use the symlinks -d -r /
to remove all those that point nowhere.
Or you could start with an empty partition and use find to copy newer
files instead of deleting the older ones. One way would be to direct the
output of find -newer

Hi,
I'm thinking of a small footprint gentoo produced in this way:
1) install everything you need
2) note current system time
3) reboot and do all operations you need in this
Hi Iain,
thanks a lot for your post (for the tips etc.).
I did much of the initial work to prove the concept and handed it over
to someone else to turn into a reproducible system. As far as I know,
we've had 3 or 4 running continuously for quite a few months now.

What do you think about this? Does it have a chance to work?
I don't think it stands a snowball's chance in ... Well, you get the idea.
Sascha, I'm thinking that if you start with a bare-bones handbook install
you'll have a minimum system, at least for gentoo support. It won't have X,

I realy know what will run on such a system. Think of a router, or a

You might want to look at GNAP from the Embedded Gentoo project - it
sounds close to the minimal setup you are looking for.

Well the .spec files for the minimal install cd gives you quite a few
clues.
