I think you mentioned this on gentoo-dev but I'll bring it up here... |

For these embedded systems it would be nice if we had a |
26 |
baselayout-lite. I'm not convinced every init script for these tiny |
27 |
processors needs to source 300+ lines of bash functions to just |
28 |
provide colors and [ ok ] symbols ;-) |
29 |
Not that I mind it on my desktop machine... I've got gobs of cycles to |
30 |
spare. But where embedded devices are concerned, I want it to come up |
31 |
fast and provide me with just enough information to realize the code |
32 |
started up properly... |
