You want a full LFS system in 30-40Mb? I'm not sure even uclibc will give you that. I have a dedicated firewall running mostly LFS (no gettext) with webserver/proxy and various IDS tools that has had gcc, headers, et al removed, and it comes in at 24Mb with glibc (35Mb normally, but I butcher the perl libraries to only have needed files, and also remove every binary I don't need). > If there's a how to on replacing the glibc used in the > LFS book with uClibc library, please tell me. > Did anyone try this?

The Hardened Linux From Scratch (HLFS) project has a early alpha book on how to use uClibc with LFS - you can skip the "security" bits (SSP, etc) and see if that suits your needs. -- - Steve Crosby -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
