I personally have 2(3) goals with this: - fit on 256MB flash (for work) - use it as server minimal install template for virtual machines in a dedicated setup. - i used to think about a PXE solution where i put the whole system in an initrd structure, so that it would have it's basesystem directly loaded into memory, but it seems PXE always uses slow network transfer rates... also; - having less packages means also faster install time.
