We haven't worked that out in a formal way yet. You can probably look at MilaX for one example, and I recall Jim Connors had been doing minimized systems on his blog. There are probably other informal lists.

I suppose you could build ON and other consolidations. You could also just use the existing repositories and start from one of the minimized examples people have already explored. Write a distribution constructor manifest by changing the slim_cd manifest. See http://opensolaris.org/os/project/caiman/Constructor/DC_docs/DC_toi.html for more detail. (If that doesn't let you get small enough, then it's probably easiest to start modifying the package importer recipes in the pkg(5) gate. You will have to think through the tradeoffs as you reduce the system.) - Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
