I'm looking for an extremely minimalist *nix distro for running one
program - Bind, as a caching name server only.
There's a bunch of places I need to install these things, and I use the
Soekris for things like this, but I'm a little concerned using a distro
designed for firewalls (such as m0n0wall) due to the extra packages on
the system, basically I'd like something as small as possible.
So... If anyone knows of:-
a) A distro that has just the base system that I can compile
Bind (prefer Bind9) for and it has nothing else active/installed by
default.
b) A distro that might have extra packages, but the packages
need to be specifically enabled
I cannot have ANYTHING but bind responding on the network on these
boxen, hence the request for info. And yes, I mean anything, meaning
everything configuration is serial-based. I'm happy with a web-based
config or something for initial config, but once the systems are at
"production" stage even that can't be responding.
Oh and of course, anything I can just duplicate out about 20+ CF's for
the boxes post initial configuration would be great.
And one more thing, the boxes IP's will be set via DHCP at the remote
sites... I know I can build a distro for just this manually (and very
painfully), but I'd prefer not to reinvent the wheel (ie. I'm lazy).
