Ummm... 32 MB? That's HUGE!!! Most of the systems I see in products have root filesystems in the size of 2...8 MB. > Direction: ... > board.

Taking any "standard distribution" and removing things will always be a poor way to design an embedded system. You will always get caught in strange interdependencies, where you cannot remove A (which you don't need), because it's needed for some function of B (which you also don't need), but another function of B is used by C, which is important to you. If you want to build a lean system you have to do it the other way round: bottom up.
