I believe the best approach is to extend catalyst into building |
| 11 |
stripped-down images, while still maintaining a separate development |
| 12 |
environment. |

Eg: |
| 15 |
While GCC/Portage/Python/Binutils etc. are needed to build packages, I |
| 16 |
don't need them on my cellphone. |

However, I'm not really with the embedded group, just hacking on some |
| 19 |
embedded MIPS hardware (MyCable XXS1500) myself for the moment (until I |
| 20 |
get a lot more time). |
