Subject: Re: Reducing root filesystem

Hi,
You can try using dietlibc (http://www.fefe.de/dietlibc/) and other
tools listed on http://www.fefe.de/ . There is also a project rewriting
shell tools in assembler but I do not remember the name. This should
reduce required root space a little.

cheers Esden
