Nano rootfs is 33M compressed tarball which expands to 95M. That's "small", not "embedded" ;) That said, these two already make it pretty obvious that for embedded it only makes sense to build the rootfs in a custom manner: 19M binary/boot/filesystem.dir/var/lib/apt 6,7M binary/boot/filesystem.dir/var/lib/dpkg rather than using a ready-to-go-and-updateable distribution. -- Kalle Vahlman, z...@iki.fi Powered by http://movial.com Interesting stuff at http://sandbox.movial.com _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
