This is where Morphix is well suited - A main module with the window manager, sound support, and general purpose utilities. A secondary mini module (or just a tarball) would hold just the custom application & kernel module.. Once the main components have been built, should you need to change your custom application, only the mini-module/tarball needs to be remastered before running mkisofs. A bare Gnome module (complete with Xorg) weighs in at around 272M, and the base module containing a Xenomai patched kernel & libraries adds another 47M. After I've had a chance to run further tests, I'll put them on a server along with the XML templates and kernel packages.
