My installation is 6 mb, since I'm installing into 32 mb, I haven't |
| 6 |
tried too hard to pair it down. I'm installing on Soekris net4526 |
| 7 |
boards. Keep in mind there are somethings you can do after you build |
| 8 |
you filesystem with Gentoo to make the install even smaller: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Remove /usr/include |
| 11 |
Remove all .keep files |
| 12 |
Audit the rest of the file system for unnecessary files, expecially / |
| 13 |
etc and /var |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I have a series of scripts I've written to automate the process |
| 16 |
described in the above howto, and I would like to publish them |
| 17 |
shortly, but please don't hold your breath. :) |
