Good evening all!
Does anyone here have comments about good (or bad) minimalist Linux
distros, on which to intall a Framebuffer-configured Nano-X project? I
want to build a mini-ATX Linux box on which will run my
Framebuffer-based project, and I want to have the install as
trimmed-down as possible (I just need Framebuffer and network support,
really). To begin with it'll be installed on one of those "flash" IDE
units (that hold 512MB) but I'm hoping longer-term to build a PXE image
for network transfer.
I /could/ fight with my usual choice of distro (SuSE) and see what I can
strip out to get it down to a sensible size ... but I figure that this
must be a task that others here have battled with.
Any comments?
Kris.
You could try LTIB, look at www.bitshrine.org, or pull down some of
Freescale's Linux BSPs (most based on LTIB). They're pretty minimal,
and have qtopia, as well as nanox in them that you can select to build
into your rootfs.
