have you taken a glimpse at puppy linux? if all else fails, you really will need to build linux from scratch to get the most features that you want at the least overhead.

damn small linux or dsl w/c has kernel 2.4 is actually my first candidate for this particular application. But a harddisk-install yields files bigger than my 100mb requirement. i tried manually removing most application but the knoppix image alone still take up most of the diskspace. somebody suggested i should build from scratch i.e. using lfs but the new kernel 2.6 is too much for my system and it seems compatibility in some legacy hardwares has removed. This i cant afford since i will be running this system on these vintages. any suggestions? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arthur Vincent Simon" To: "Kagay-Anon Linux Users' Group (KLUG) Mailing List" Subject: Re: [klug] (no subject) Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2006 01:32:20 -0800 have you tried DSL(damn small linux) or Puppy Linux?
