Hello All,
I have been looking at various distributions on the
net but have always liked Mandrake and have used it in the past with great
success.
What I need now is a small minimalist distribution
of Mandrake that would have the latest supported kernel 2.4.x and latest Xfree
4.x windowing system. My project will be connecting to the internet as well via
NFS and Samba along with not needing things like KDE nor GNOME and will be
installing my own window manager.
The trick to this is that although I will have
either an ext2 or ext3 filesystem, I need the whole distribution to be initially
small, something like under about 5 - 10 Meg if possible. I will be adding other
packages as they are needed.
I have come across a few other distributions on the
Internet that claim to be able to offer a kernel and xwindows on only 2 floppy
disks but would prefer to work with Mandrake if possible.
does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this
task accomplished easily with Mandrake?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Lonnie
