Alex, I had not really gotten as far as patching the kernel. At that point I would have used the latest ones.
All I was really trying to do was shrink linux+EMC2 to where I can fit it on one of the smaller IDE flash drives. Say 512 MB split 50 / 50, with half read only and half read / write. The puppy version was down to 60 MB and change, but I would rather directly have the debian (ubuntu) packages, and coolCNC seems not to be going anywhere at the moment. I tried stripping ubuntu 6.06, as well as tried xubuntu (EMC seems to load fine on it, but I have only run the sim configurations), but once I got down to about 1GB or so, everything I tried to remove seemed to have other dependencies, so I decided to try the reverse route and build up to what I needed.
