Has anyone tried this? I have no easy way to test it, so if someone could at least play with it to let me know if it is even capable of booting (with an added inittab), I'd be greatful.

I doesn't have a bootloader or an inittab yet (I can write the inittab if you want), or any login utils. It does have ssh and most of the utils you'd expect on a normal system (other than the login stuff). It also has the zlib, readline, and ncurses shared libraries, which should be enough to run something like dialog.

Everything on there was built with GCC 3.1 against GLIBC 2.2.5. Minimum kernel GLIBC supports is 2.2.20.

Uncompressed it's about 8.6MB, which will easily fit on a ramdisk in most systems or can be put on a flash HDD. Unfortunately, this is a bit large to fit on even a double floppy boot system (compressed tarball is 3.4MB).

If there are any problems with it or if anyone has any suggestions (including apps to include), please let me know.
