debxo manages to fit a gnome build in a small enough space to fit on the NAND a listing of a recent released build (the jffs images, since I think that will be the best match) [ ] awesome.dat 18-Nov-2008 02:41 334M [ ] awesome.img 18-Nov-2008 02:40 224K [ ] base.dat 18-Nov-2008 02:55 157M [ ] base.img 18-Nov-2008 02:55 105K [ ] gnome.dat 18-Nov-2008 03:24 436M [ ] gnome.img 18-Nov-2008 03:23 293K [ ] kde.dat 18-Nov-2008 03:58 536M [ ] kde.img 18-Nov-2008 03:57 360K [ ] lxde.dat 18-Nov-2008 04:20 220M [ ] lxde.img 18-Nov-2008 04:20 147K [ ] sugar.dat 18-Nov-2008 10:14 357M [ ] sugar.img 18-Nov-2008 10:13 239K I haven't done much with the gnome build (other than boot it a few times), but I've messed with the kde build more and there is definantly room to slim it down further. and I hate to say it, but even gnome and kde result is a more responsive machine than sugar.
