Hmm... Maybe we should do a Dash version of LFS, designed for sub-gigahertz systems with minimal memory, say 64M. I'm all in favour of recycling to save the planet. While we're at it we could use one of the simple libcs and avoid that dead-weight too. On the point of speeding up bootscripts, you'll have far more luck by parallelising your service start ups, then lightening the scripter.
