The filesystem is too large and contains relatively much crud. If you use it as a development environment, you can use it as a starting point, but I would not recommend for a final solution. If you know what you are doing, roll your own distribution, if you have little GNU/Linux experience, you can use commercial embedded distrib vendors. Of course, if you ask unbiassed vendor advice, they will always claim that you _need_ their distrib (mainly because of reasons which have little to do with technical ones). I would recommend crosscompiling your toolchain (e.g. makeroot) and start from there. There are also several good howtos for debian based packages. --=20 ash nazg durbatul=FBk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatul=FBk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul
