This is what I use: |

| 14 |
|
| 15 |
My installation is 6 mb, since I'm installing into 32 mb, I haven't |
| 16 |
tried too hard to pair it down. I'm installing on Soekris net4526 |
| 17 |
boards. Keep in mind there are somethings you can do after you build you |
| 18 |
filesystem with Gentoo to make the install even smaller: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Remove /usr/include |
| 21 |
Remove all .keep files |
| 22 |
Audit the rest of the file system for unnecessary files, expecially /etc |
| 23 |
and /var |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I have a series of scripts I've written to automate the process |
| 26 |
described in the above howto, and I would like to publish them shortly, |
| 27 |
but please don't hold your breath. :) |

I have tried various ways of building a root fs with uClibc, but |
| 35 |
to no avail. I have monitored this list long enough to know that |
| 36 |
someone out there has done it. I need to do it for and X86 target that |
| 37 |
must fit in about 1.5 MB of flash that gets copied to RAM and started. |

The "out of the box" configuration I linked to from the uClibc |
| 41 |
site fails in various ways. I like the Gentoo way of doing things, but |
| 42 |
the HOWTO link I saved a while back does not work. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Any pointers to documents that would help me succeed would be |
| 45 |
greatly appreciated. |
