OK the 64MB means it's a bit tight for Fedora so I'd suggest
DamnSmallLinux which comes in at 50MB - complete with X, Multimedia &
office apps.
I have installed Fedora on a 256MB flash and had it mounted read-only.

I'm looking for a tiny Linux distro that I can modify and implement in a

the moment they are running picoBSD and I want to give it the flick.
Must haves:
Linux (naturally)
drive AMD ELAN SC520 CPU
CompactFlash disk (ideally not more than 64Mb)
wifi drivers for PCMCIA card (probably PRISM based)
cope with harsh environment (24/7/365 in the sun on top of a mast)
ipsec (ideally openswan rather than raccoon)
Nice to haves:
Fedora
watchdog (can this fit in a spare empty miniPCI slot ?)
bash
vi
Not needed:
X or any graphics
It looks like tinylinux hasn't been touched since '01
What are folks suggesting?
