Hi!

I've been testing a few scripts i've wrote to be able to automatically
update the software for this router, but, i've realised that at the
end i have a full compilation system, and what i want is a minimal
system, only with the servers i want and a small set of applications
that i need on this pc.

So, can i use my desktop pc to compile the software i want and this
way populate an empty set of the basic directories of the linux
system? What tools can i use to do that?


Thanks for the help!

yes its all the packages. and all the drivers. You boot on the iso, then
you just install what you need into ram.

apk_add bind && /etc/init.d/named start

You can do pretty much of an old pentium with 64 MB ram.

Cool. Its only a 2 Mbit line so be patient.

Look at http://alpinelinux.org for the basic concept and some thin
documentation.

and feel free to help documenting ;)
