(Bnot sure i like enuchs... but... hehehehe :) first i like this idea - but
(Bwe'd need REAL dedication to this. doing a dist - of any size is a LOT of
(Bwork. and i see us having 2 issues here. we have a CD "live" dist and an
(Binstalled dist - they can share a lot in common - in fatc i'd love to see a
(Blive dist where one option after it has booted is "install me" as a
(Bmenu/app/button etc. the problem with building on a dist and stripping it
(Bdown is that you inherit its cruft - no matter how far you strip.
(B
(Bpersonally i'd look agt WHAT the dists do to run well and then do it again
(B"from scratch". that'd be how i would do it. you will make a MUCh leaner dist
(Band actually understand every component and know why it is there and exactly
(Bwhat it does. in all honesty this isnt as hard as it sounds...
