Yeah, I remember tuning Slackware a little a few years ago and it came out
around 150MB with X; with a bit more effort it probably could have
matched that. I did have a minimalist setup (no X) running from a 32MB
CF card.
If the OP is benchmarking though then maybe it's not a fair test to do a
massive amount of fine-tuning, and a basic 'stock' install would be more
suitable (not that Slackware runs a whole pile of services automatically
like some of the distros do)
DSL isn't slackware anymore. It's debian.
Yes, I wasn't claiming that it was - just that somewhere around that sort
of footprint appeared to be the 'sweet spot' for a useful graphical
Linux system.
I'm sure with considerable effort it could have been reduced further,
Doesn't take much. Replacing the graphical user interface with
simple bash menus and the graphical apps it calls with console
apps, where possible (and it's possible for most of them)
helps a great deal.
The console apps are almost always immeasurably superior to
the graphical ones.
but
for what I was doing it just wasn't beneficial to do so (I was playing
around with network-booting machines, and a 150MB footprint for the OS
image on the server-side was 'small enough')
Sure.
