I needed a WLAN Router 3 weeks ago, and didn't want to start with a new distro (I really like debian). I did the standard install (basedebs only), and removed portmap, NFS, lpr, gcc and the like, added only wireless tools and shorewall. That way I brought it down to ~200 MB (which would fit on a 256 MB CF-Card), and I'm sure it would be possible to even get under 100 MB (delete /usr/share/doc etc). > > I'd like to have a small Linux partition on a dos \ Windows disk to > include a bootloader (lilo) and some utilities for partitioning, > formatting, and making and restoring disk images. The german c't magazine included a Knoppix-CD (which is debian-based) some weeks ago, which basically is a complete "Run From CD" distro. Not small, but really useful. Not a limited rescue disc, as most/all of the tools one needs are included. > > I started working with a Vector root / boot set and have made > progress, > but I have a lot to learn and many problems remain -- if there is an > easier way I'd like to try it. Sorry, I never went that path. Sounds like an adventure, though :-) > > Randy Kramer > Thomas Lamy
