Have a look at "SELF" (our Simple Embedded Linux Framework"); it's based on Busybox, provides a lot of tools including remote access to your target using FTP and telnet and fits in <840 kB of flash (kernel not included). You can get it even smaller when you "optimize" your libs (see the running thread). Hope it helps. Umm, yes, before I forget it: you find SELF in ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/SELF/ There is even a short README ;-) Hope it helps, Wolfgang Denk -- Software Engineering: Embedded and Realtime Systems, Embedded Linux Phone: (+49)-8142-4596-87 Fax: (+49)-8142-4596-88 Email: wd at denx.de You could end up being oddly sad and full of a strange, diffuse com- passion which would lead you to believe that it might be a good idea to wipe out the whole human race and start again with amoebas. - Terry Pratchett, _Guards!
