Paul, that sound very similar to my idea, right (support --> source-only --> drop)? >From the RAM-restriction side, 4/32 and 8/32 are the same and should probably not be treated very different. Even 8/32 gives the option to install more packages I experienced a lot of OOM events running them in background. In the mean time I tested moving the 8/32 to tiny and tweak the default- kernel config to strip it down. This massively improved the stability of a Ubiquity NSM5 already. It was sitting on my bench ideling and restarted at least once a day, now it's up and running since some days. Regarding differentiating low_ram and small_flash: Probably the profiles can be used for this. But that's behind my knowledge. Best Sven > Regards, > Paul > > > Sven > > > > Am Montag, 21.
