Hi,
Installed image is 125 Megs. (Down from 290 Meg) We're on the cusp of being able to fit into 128 megs of flash.
If that's seen to be interesting, we should probably discuss it with the emdebian folks-- there's a risk of reinventing what they do; plus they certainly have tools which are useful for this.
It is interesting indeed... The "old style" ALIP from ARM's PDSW, in it's minimal configuration, used to take 26MB of space (uncompressed!) providing very simple, yet still functional environment. Frankly speaking, when the "nano" idea was born, I was hoping that it would be comparable size-wise. Well, at most 50 Megs? (it's already twice bigger ;-)
Cheers!
