(1.44 MB is > not much space, if you want to have many modules there) have you looked into busybox? i think it may be a *little* bigger though. otherwise, we should rename it and update the description so it will be very clear. also, we can send a patch to the upstream as well, and see what they think of having a builtin mount... also, are there any other alternatives? i think the less stuff we have patched the better. > Please also note that the knopstrap-script must dynamically create this > boot.img, the miniroot and copy the syslinux.cfg, boot-logo, etc. yeah. there's another project "metadistros" put on by the hispalinux users group, which we'll be tapping on for this most certainly as well. from what i understand, they already have tools to do most of this (in spanish, being translated as we speak), but these are all things we will have to do. > I'm mentioning it only, because it was not in your list ...

I would like an include! i've certainly had nothing but good experience with it. anyway, thanks for all the input! sean
