Q: CDDing a heavily patching project (LFS based)

["C. Gatzemeier" <c.gatzemeier@tu-bs.de>]

Hi,
maybe you know the IPCop firewall distribution. The question is if it would be 
feaseable to make a CDD out of it. It would sure be nice to have a firewall 
CDD and also be nice if the ipcop work could become available for other 
platforms and debian projects.

Currently IPCop uses the Linux From Scratch project as its base. Could you 
help answer the following questions about CDDing:

----------
Sure.  But, can you:
- simply add stack-smashing protection to Debian 
  (patch glibc+gcc+kernel)
- is there a Debian http package that does not include every single
  module for Apache that we're not interested in?
- strip Debian with all necessary packages down to under 100MB ?
  (that includes ADSL firmware, all software, cgi's, langs, etc.)
- patch pppd with a patch because it doesn't work with a certain type
  of DSL modem (same goes for at least 10 other packages)?
-----------

Regards,
Christian
