Oh, no, I understand the meaning of a DISTRO (I guess). The point here
is I was looking for a DISTRO, a base DISTRO (or generic distro,
better than "minimal") for a set of different boards that I have (ARM,
PPC, MIPS, x86) .

I have built a minimal.conf distro for ALIX board, and I would like to
build the same distro (I'm not talking about the final image) for a
Beagle board (for example), with the same eglibc, gcc, ... and so
forth. I'm talking about a base line distro.

It is possible that minimal.conf distro is not for I am using, I mean
is not a generic distro at all. I'm a little bit confused about it.
