I think we can try to do both and see which one is the best method and I |
12 |
guess dump the worst method. Right now I dont think it is easy to see |
13 |
which one is the best method (unless there is someone around who has |
14 |
experience in tweaking Gentoo for embedded and can let us know). |

Maintaining a simple stripped down baselayout-lite should not be *that* |
17 |
hard since I guess it would be a rather small and simple package (I dont |
18 |
know why I keep on thinking of simple rc files ala slackware all the |
19 |
time). |

But on the other hand, having a script which strips/modifies the current |
22 |
standard baselayout also seems interesting. But this depends on how |
23 |
often the main baselayout goes through drastic changes (which is not |
24 |
that often iirc). |

So my vote is trying both methods and see what results we get. |
