LNX-BBC http://lnx-bbc.org/ Has already had most of the trimming done, and has a build system that should make it relatively easy to customize it into a single purpose image. On Monday, June 23, 2003, at 11:42 PM, Joseph Carter wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Mon, Jun

Indeed, the mini-bootable distro's would be a good base to start with. Are you talking about a full-blown typical mobo, just without the HD? If per chance you're thinking of an embedded system or SBC, you might want to consider some distro's which cater specifically to that set of needs (generally

[eug-lug]BBC with NTFS support?
