If you really want to get to a minimum why not Linux From Scratch? Or try this, be prepared for a bit of a long typing session. Create your own kernel with no frills. Mount a spare disk and copy the kernel and it's modules to it. Copy each program you think you will need to /bin /sbin on your disk. "ldd <progname>" and copy those libraries to /lib on your disk or use Debian's mklibs.sh utility. Using this technique I've got the bare essentials from a Mandrake Cooker installation onto an old 340Mb disk. It's now integrated into the network and scp, ssh are working. Today's exercise is to set up a web configuration server. Total space used so far is 31466 1K blocks. This could possibly be reduced by building Busybox and a bit more pruning. -- Dave Cotton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
