    Thank for the reference. I'm aware of the rescue system, but ... well
    is not, as you sad, what I'm looking for.

    I'm speaking of a "minimal" system, that can be networked, where is
    possibile to compile and that is possible to customize.

    The basic idea born from the observation that "current" machines have
    enough memory (1Gb and up) to boot a full functional system, not just a
    rescue system, directly in memory.

    So placing a ramdisk compressed image of ... let me say of 100Mb ... on
    a CD, on the network, on an USB key ... is enough to boot a living
    system.

    I already did some experiment and I think that is possible. Just
    curious to see if other attempts are around ...

    G. Vitillaro.
