Build your configuration from binary packages.
Useful software, expansible, easy to configure, runs fully in RAM, simple, light and fast for minimum hardware resources, i.e. fits on one floppy disk (IDE disk optional), runs on a 386SX processor and needs as little memory as possible (currently 4MB with a 2.6.14 Kernel). Example
Tiny SliTaz should be as small as possible. Only the necessary software is kept. The package manager is run using this website.
Tiny SliTaz uses a Linux Kernel with an embedded filesystem. An extra initramfs can also be loaded with the configuration files and extra packages.
The initramfs is based on uClibc (instead of glibc) and
busybox with its config files and filesystem tree from base-tiny package you
can find in the wok-tiny repository.
