Well, I plan on making a few changes on it. For one, I'm switching it
to being built with uclibc. It won't mean any real changes to
functionality, just the CD will be smaller. There's a couple drivers
that we've been adding that are really messed up and require a ton of
work to get going. Those I will be removing. About the only thing
"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
goal, then I won't remove anything that isn't broken. Basically, if I
can get it to 32MB removing only problematic stuff, then I'll do it.
Otherwise, it'll just be a uclibc version of what we have now.
