I'd again suggest you take a good look at the LEAF project. You can have a shell scripted rudimentary package manager which does not necessarily resolve dependencies. You can split the whole file system into bare minimum and packages that can be added on. Keeping the chunk per transfer request smaller increases robustness. Kernel of 1MB seems like a regular desktop kernel. Prune it down to the bare minimum and load modules as needed. I'm shooting without a target here. If you describe the product, then the community could give ideas on kernel compile options and pruning. In case you want to discuss this in greater detail and want to take it offline, you are welcome. I'm not sure if this will be of general interest. -- Mohan Sundaram. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
