Hey everyone
I am hoping that someone may be able to help me out. We need to get a working linux system with 2.6 kernel, GCC, and Java installed on a SBC with a celeron 300MHz processor, 256MB RAM, and 256MB CompactFlash storage. Due to space limitations imposed by additional software that must be loaded on the system, I need to limit the space that the above (linux, java, GCC) takes up to no more that around 120MB. Less would be better.
I have explored many ideas, and am in the process of reading Linux From Scratch and also building a system from Gentoo, but I dont have time to read LFS, and I have a feeling Gentoo will be too big even if I get it finished, unless someone out there has done something similar and can help me out.
Right now we are working with Knoppix/ emKnoppix, and Im not sure how far this will take us. It seems to be alright but we are having trouble moving up to the 2.6 kernel, as well as other minor issues.
If anyone has done something similar or can give us any hint, PLEASE reply. I really need to have this done tomorrow, although I realize that this might be an unrealistic goal.
Thanks in advance
