Been reading through the goals of emdebian, and the thought popped up that rather than create a whole new distro, make a smarter dpkg/apt which would strip the unwanted parts out of a *.deb, or divert them to the compact flash storage for use when needed.
At intimate.handhelds.org, many,many packages from debian-arm can be used. Version 1.0.1 of opie is in debian unstable. Why not use what's there, but make the installer more intelligent - remove unwanted documentation/packaging info so it is conformant to ipkg. Just a thought, that might allow use of current debian packages until a couple more years where handheld storage is cheap enough that no one would think to not use straight debian arm. geoff Brimhall __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
