What it sounds like you want is an LFS system. Look at the -B option for |

I thought about doing this once before, but what is going to make the |
| 17 |
diffrence is how minimal you want the system. Are we talking a kernel + |

If you want the absolute minimal, then I would look some into LFS since |

Gentoo wants to install so much by default (gcc, bash, coreutils, wget, |
