11 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).
15
16 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).
20
21 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).
25
26 So my vote is trying both methods and see what results we get.
