Hello,
A Fedora user nicknamed stevea has posted an topic about making micro
Fedora. It
will be nice to take a look because he may be a very important
contributors
given his skills in embedded.
"
The minimalFedora system weighed in at 67MB. 58MB was in /lib/modules.
I could
easily pare that down to a few MB, remove unused drivers with a little
work.
Another 6.5MB was in /boot and 1.7MB in busybox. Aside from the homemade
inittab and rcS (init script) it was all from the Fedora distro,".

Hi,
I'm not sure that it's the right way for building an embedded Linux.
With your method, you just have the Fedora kernel with all Fedora
patches and a big /lib/modules with a lot of unused modules for your
embedded system.
One prefers to use the fresh vanilla Linux kernel with busybox. The
Linux kernel is then configured exactly for your target. With that, you
have a Linux kernel (about 1MB) with its root FS (about 1-2 MB) adapted
completly to the target platform.
I'm building embedded Linux systems and I'm using Fedora just on the
host system for crosscompiling, debugging...
Cheers;
Pat.
