Hi All, Well, Maybe we could use buildroot [1] to create such minimalist distro Buildroot is very flexible and allows to embed X Last time i played with it, i was able to create a distro in ~14MB (squashfs) with python and X I know that squashfs is not feasible for older machines, but we can tune the compression on buildroot :) The only thing is to add dosemu on it which is not difficult, but i would suggest to compile dosemu 'statically' and then copy the binaries...
