A LEAF box with them gets closer and closer to being a full distro, minus the x-windows. Certainly the user would need a cdrom based LEAF. I'd like to see java2, but only the jre.

Yes, reinventing the wheel is bogus, and that's what happens when we try to pack everything from a full distro into a LEAF. > At any rate, I've just uploaded my 3.2 MB postfix.lrp to > the www.monkeynoodle.org packages repository. If I get a chance today > I'll see if a JRE will compile too :-) Well that's 3.2MB of _something_, I don't know what :) You might be interested in j2me. That's the Java2 Micro Edition targeted at embedded systems like color pda's and cell phones with limited memory and space. http://java.sun.com/j2me/ It's like Java2 minus the swing and awt stuff. Might work well for people. I'm busy writing full blown java2 apps, but once I learn those, I may poke around with j2me also.
