Hello everybody,

   I'm new to building linux embedded systems, but I'm very curious, and a
friend of mine has customized some PC's wich could perfectly use a linux
embedded operating system. Now where should I start? I've build a few
Linux From Scratch systems, but those are still way to big... Where do I
start to make a real small, fast and stable system? say 10 Mb in size? Are
there any howto's for this?

Greetings,
Eric
