http://www.gentoo.org is the link you are searching for :-) seriously though, install gentoo, just the bits you need. Then start paring it down. I suspect the 80MB cut down version has portage and its heavy dependencies like gcc, python etc removed. therefore updating is out! you should look at the catalyst system which is used for building releases, including livcd's. There are various .spec files about in the documentation, and you get examples when you emerge catalyst with USE=doc. The spec files for building the minimal live cd has examples of what can be deleted and removed. > > > Am Mittwoch, den 26.01.2005, 14:04 +0800 schrieb Ow Mun Heng: > > > I'm looking for a small Linux install.
