Hi !

 a new cleaned up version of miniRTL2.0.img (rtlinux-2.0) is on the net....

  http://www.thinkingnerds.com/projects/minirtl/minirtl.html
  ftp://ftp.thinkingnerds.com/pub/minirtl/miniRTL2.0.img      (disk image)
  ftp://ftp.thinkingnerds.com/pub/minirtl/modules2.2.13RTL2.0 (modules)
  ftp://ftp.thinkingnerds.com/pub/minirtl/miniRTL2.0_unpacked (unpacked disk)

  most modules are also in the download-section.

 new features:

 www-interface:
        now finally works with full cgi-bin support offering
           simple status monitoring 
           web-based command-execution 

 sshd:  offering a save replacement for 
        telnet -> ssh 
        tftp -> scp 
        (currently telnet and tftp are still on the disk)

 minimized Kernel: 
        runtime size is down to 1164K on an 8MB box (4RAM + 4RAMDISK) 
        SMP removed (are embedet SMP systems reality ?? if I can dig up a 
            little more space somewhere I'll put it back in )
        removed sysctl  (it simply needs too much memory at runtime )
        no more support for IDE in the kernel ( everything must be
            loaded as modules )

 devices:
       cleaned away about everything I could think of in /dev that would not
          render the box unusable ....

 now minirtl cleanly will boot on boxes that have no HD in it , the last 
 version would boot ( it had IDE support compiled in) but would only 
 crawl ( /proc/cpuinfo gave me 4 bogo-mips instead of 37.79 as normal linux 
 does ) 

 cleaned up the most scripts and removed some of the things not essential to 
 the system so now there is more space on the RAM-DISK at runtime.

any feedback appreciated !

thx
nmg
