Subject: Information on embedded system
Hi!
I'm trying to build an embedded system for a i386 on the Linux platform.
I've been able to make the embedded using a disk-on-chip; the kernel and the
filesystem run in a ramdisk.
The kernel and the filesystem are booted by syslinux. At the moment i would need the
drivers for the D-OnChip
because, obviously, i can't mount that after the boot, so i can't use or modify things
like configurations files and so on,
or better i cant't save them for the next boot.
It is anyway really hard to look for in the files of my distribution (Red-Hat) what i
really need to run the kernel.
Everytime there's something that i need and that i don't have in the filesystem image.
Once i need a library to run some command (ls, cut ...) once i need something else and
so on..
I'm also making the porting of the executable programs of my system, on the Linux
platform.
For the graphical environment i use the vgagl, that are quite good for the video chip
'Chips & Tech 65xxx.'
Anyway i would like to use for my embedded also a the Netscape so i need to run, i
suppose X11.
What i need to run x11?
Is that really heavy for the system?; everything runs in a ramdisk (i'm allowed to use
16 or 32 M of RAM)
