I've been working on some very task specific Xen images based on Sarge,
and been playing with Oracle's 'Rasta' system to help make network pxe
pushes a little easier to tailor from a single root.
Unfortunately what I have makes sense only to me. That being said, if
some more info was provided, I may have something suitable which could
help.
What's the function / purpose of the SMM platform? Sorry to reply to a
reply, but I can't seem to locate the original thread.
My projects have been focusing on easily making appliances out of SBC's,
typically with 128 MB or less and small CF storage. Without some HW info
for the target, its really hard to offer up a generic solution.
For starters, are you looking for a 2.4 or 2.6 based distro?
Best,
