I personally find Angstrom very difficult and buggy. I use Knoppix, cut down to fit in a CFlash. This only works for architectures x86 and compatibles. If you use Angstrom, make sure you have a good book about dealing with Embedded Linux. I recommend you "Embedded Linux Primer" from Christopher Hallinan and "Linux for Embedded and Real Time applications" by Doug Abbot. I have both of them in PDF, I can share them with you if you email me, in my country this is perfectly legal (and moral), I don't know in yours. Anyways, take care that you are facing a difficult task, but you can get awesome results, and improve your personal skills, if you put the needed effort on it. And always ask on the forums and FIRST, read the documentation!!
Good luck. 2009/2/3 Cliff Brake <[email protected]>: > On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 12:40 AM, Shan Gopalakrishnan <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Team >> >> I'm trying to get a light version of linux build for a embedded system >> purpose and i will be building some web application on it. >> I would like to know >> >> -> Which build i can pick up or how i can strip it down. > > Pick a machine reasonably close to what you are using, use the > Angstrom distro, and then create a custom image > (http://bec-systems.com/site/177/the-correct-way-to-add-packages-to-an-openembedded-image). > Then start adding components you need such as cherokee, etc. > > Cliff > > -- > ======================= > Cliff Brake > http://bec-systems.com > > _______________________________________________ > Openembedded-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-users > -- Néstor +34 687 96 74 81 [email protected] _______________________________________________ Openembedded-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-users
