How do I install a minimal redhat 7.2 on the DiskonChip (16mb) to load a 1mb
application.
Urls as references highly welcomed

basically the best place to start is the 'howto boot disk' this will tell
you exactly how to build a linux boot  for a floppy disk, the principles for
building on be it flash or harddrive is exactly the same, infact i returned
to this website quite a few times,

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/

just for testing build a 2 part floppy disk, one with kernel and one with
root and practise booting it from the floppy disk,

i think the best way tho is to prepare the DOC with jffs then i assume you
can build your root fs and kernel on it and not worry too much about power
down etc?

That is probably the best way forward, yes. Especially with a 16MiB unit
where you really do want the compression.

I committed code to CVS yesterday to make JFFS2 work out of the box on
the DiskOnChip 2000 and Millennium (not Millennium Plus). I haven't
tested it hard yet, though.
