Under 1MB doesn't even sound promising for an utterly minimal 2.4 kernel. OWRT may be pretty tiny, fitting into 2-3MB of flash sometimes, but 50k/500k is a completely different class of tiny. Seriously - the floppy Linux distros you speak of are ~3x the size and are barely functional; do you really think one could reduce that by 70% and still be functional? There is a great deal of documentation that none of the BSDs will run in under 8MB and that Linux really isn't functional under 4. As Jose suggested, there are alternatives, but Linux just won't cut it in this small of space. Heck, computers in the mid-80's were coming out with 64k of RAM and 180k floppies - not too far off of this platform you're wanting to run on. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
