I messed around with creating a "miniLinux" using the debootstrap utility that Debian has. The system you end up with is more or less just a kernel plus the necessary device nodes and user space utilities to have a "functional" system. (Close to the same thing you'd get if you did Linux From Scratch.) I never finalized a procedure, but you can take a look at my notes if you want. I haven't gone through these notes in over a year ... and they were just a straight mind dump - meaning I don't have a bunch of commands that you can just copy/paste to have what you need. You'll need to play around with the notes to get any kind of result. http://www.ultradesic.com/pub/linux/miniLinux.txt Also - if you have an interest in FreeBSD, I have a well structured guide for an *extremely* tiny FreeBSD setup: http://www.ultradesic.com/index.php?section=174 _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
