So a bit over 1.5MB. I must admit, while the prospect of a super-small
dom0 is quite appealing, using a ramdisk just hasn't proved to be all
that useful.
The thing that always comes back to bite me too is that I cannot get X
to start in a domU. If I could get that to work it might be practical.
Obviously, the key to getting things to build so small is to use busybox
and uClibc but another important tip is to be very careful about what
goes in /dev. /dev can eat a ton of space in certain file systems.
