Call me a glutton for punishment. I have a background project to see if Linux running in 1M is possible. The budget for some items: 256K kernel 256K library 64k shell 128k multi-call utility In general, this would require (as Rob points out), reverting a lot of features that have crept into Linux, and substituting smaller code for some pieces. I've run Linux in as small as 2.5 meg (but with kernel and app XIP). In the early days, I had a web server running in 4 meg (but with swap). However, this is probably something I'll never find time to do... -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Workgroup of the Linux Foundation Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Network Entertainment ============================= _______________________________________________ Celinux-dev mailing list Celinux-dev@lists.celinuxforum.org https://lists.celinuxforum.org/mailman/listinfo/celinux-dev
