I would actually suggest looking at the tinycore linux project to see if you can find a list of packages it includes. They managed to create a minimal CLI system which only takes up 10MBs of space. In fact, this might be a faster approach since they have good docs on how to modify it to do what you want. :) Smartboy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
