This is totally irrelevant: The use case I described here was not to use libreCMC as a "distro", but rather as a tool to build a minimal kernel+rootfs to fit in libreboot compatible laptops flash. With libreboot supported hardware, the "BIOS" flash sizes varies between 2M and 16M. Since you cannot fit the rootfs of self-hosting 100% free distros(or any of the most common GNU/Linux distributions) in the flash, you need to either: -> build the rootfs and the kernel by hand (tedious). -> Use an embedded build system for that. The most well known ones are buildroot, openWRT, yocto. Yocto does not have a strong focus on achieving the smallest image size possible. OpenWRT does. Denis.
