Live cd, built from skratch for optimal size and speed (ricer mentality I know, but here it counts)

Features

  • kernel
    • 2.6.17-om1
      • builds
      • rumored unstable
      • userland tools don't work
    • 2.4.27-om1
      • already compiled, meaning not as small as it could be
      • ancient
      • userland tools work
  • busybox for majority of tools
    • build by hand
    • has almost everything needed
  • dropbear for ssh and friends
    • currently a static multicall binary
    • dependent on uclibc, glibc is already present due to busybox
  • links
    • using version 2 for fb graphics
    • blue screens (literally) on exit
  • qemu
    • not fully tested
    • not friendly with vga=791
    • no kqemu for either kernel yet
  • wine
    • maybe in a later version as it's dependent on X


all in all, it's running reasonable with no X server, but for all the extra fun enhancements, it looks like X needs to be loaded somehow
