Here are the requirements we've laid out: Read/write /etc (jffs2 filesystem) /var is a ramdisk, /tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp / is read only otherwise (cramfs filesystem) As far as apps, we basically just need: boa busybox samba 2.2.x (samba 3 requires additional libraries in the final image) sysvinit sqlite quota-tools sys-utils e2fsprogs Now, we created one a while back using an axis chip, and they had a full development package that we just modified as needed. In the end we wound up with an image that had about 2 MB left over of the eight. RIght now, we're kind of starting fresh with an 8241 based system, so I wanted to get some input on what recommendations you might have. I've already been playing around with a custom thing from the ground up. But just in case, I'd like to see if there is something else we could look into. I've been using gentoo for quite some time now (since the 1.4 days) but I haven't been following the gentoo embedded list for the most part. Cheers, Anthony -- gentoo-embedded@gentoo.org mailing list
