  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.)
