I think the point was "small on disk" does not imply "small in RAM".
As I noted earlier, if a system can run Firefox, it shouldn't have problems.
I've not built a highly tuned miniroot in 30 years, but clearly it's time to do
it again.
The diag switch on my 3/60 booted a custom miniroot from a small sliver of
disk. That was done within 4 months of my losing my job as release manager for
the idiot project from hell. I bought a 3/60 and 4x 141 MB + 1/4" tape
shoeboxes a few weeks before a 38% staff RIF. I organized a deal for 7 systems
and had them delivered at work. I then spent my last few weeks running around
the office teaching people how to set up and run their systems before they took
them home.
That was *before* I learned how to really do it properly. That took 4 months. I
then spent another month learning lex and yacc before I got my first contract
job. Best thing that ever happened to me.

Who on earth use SquashFS without compression? lz4 is the most widely used
algorithm. Compressible is the selling point of it. Who on earth will ever
think about uncompressed SquashFS?
