Yeah. I have started trying to fix that, though =E2=98=BA see the other mail of today. > That's what I was suggesting - a stripped down kernel tailored to the= TT=20 > could then > be 'distributed' (like you do with other stuff from your people.d.o=20 > page) to those > that need it. That would indeed be possible and not too hard (Debian has tools for that, and if must, these could even be cross-built). > Not that a total of 8 MB RAM would be a lot of fun to run today's ker= nel=20 > and userland on. Indeed. I did that for a friend=E2=80=99s i486 laptop, and I=E2=80=99ve= got one of those myself as well except it has 12 MiB. MirBSD works =E2=80=93 barely. (I = could go multiuser on the 12 MiB RAM one, but decided to not do it; it=E2=80=99s= enough for 3 virtual consoles, GNU screen, lynx, ssh client, tinyirc. Not my regular IRC client sirc, as that one=E2=80=99s written in Perl. So, def= initively no stock Linux distribution=E2=80=A6) bye, //mirabilos
