A demo distribution for the TX admin toolkit.
Based on a small linux distribution
- DSL 50MB compressed image
- ABOX 17MB
Perl required
- A small distro with Perl included
DSL has Perl included!
- include it myself (size=25MB!)
combined with 2.4 kernel and busybox this can still be a small distro, but then you have a uncompressed DSL installation (200MB) or minimal Debian install (350MB)
can be combined with uclibc and a older kernel (2.4 or 2.2) to create a really small distro (see also
this mailing list message)
- ABOX
- Slax
- LSF (Linux From Scratch)
Close to embedded but needs more fexibility and standard tools
DSL (or similar distro) looks like the easyest and most flexible option. I prefer Debian based so DSL is a good choice but what are the alternatives?
