For OLPC our disk image is pretty small, and we're carrying a lot of desktop packages. So we know it's possible to make a device that's in the 250MB disk size range, it's just a question of what you want to include and what functionality you want. The way that our "base" distro is set up makes that hard, though. But we're seeing more and more small devices and lots of them use Fedora. It's just a question of what tools to use to build images. We're using pilgrim: http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=pilgrim/.git;a=summary which lets us pick a really small subset. It also uses a better initramfs solution that will work on cdroms, usb drives, etc, so you can slap an image onto a cheap usb hdd or flash drive and it can be used there. David Zeuthen did a lot of this work and his posts to the mailing list archives give a good overview, as does the readme: http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=pilgrim/.git;a=blob;f=README.fedora;h=aa64cfda24576f3cb81b2ab99b2aae0fb0a2b8ae;hb=HEAD --Chris -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
