Well, I plan on making a few changes on it. For one, I'm switching it |
9 |
to being built with uclibc. It won't mean any real changes to |
10 |
functionality, just the CD will be smaller. There's a couple drivers |
11 |
that we've been adding that are really messed up and require a ton of |
12 |
work to get going. Those I will be removing. About the only thing |
13 |
"non-essential" that I'm leaving on the CD is screen. |

I'm shooting to have the CD down to <32MB, but if I can't reach that |
16 |
goal, then I won't remove anything that isn't broken. Basically, if I |
17 |
can get it to 32MB removing only problematic stuff, then I'll do it. |
18 |
Otherwise, it'll just be a uclibc version of what we have now. |
