[Leonid] I did what you suggest and you are most right regarding size -
after I was through compilation (and I needed to patch some matchbox
packages to make them compile by uclibc toolchain) I was few hours older
and wiser but got the image which was practically of the same size like
gclibc's one - about 35M.

I am trying to figure out how to prepare the "minimal" distro which has
x-windows manager and web browser in it. I think it can be less then
16M, what do you think? I have asked on this list whether such "ready to
go" distro does in fact exist, but looks like this is a kind of "holy
spell" nobody wants to speak of :-)

I can and probably will start cherry-picking packages myself though I
would appreciate if I can get hold on any type of "recipe" or reference
distro I can start from.

Thanks,

Leonid.
