User Feedback :: Smaller, nearly apps-less DSL?

Hi Mikshaw. Fully agree. A permanent /opt/bin and /opt/lib possibility is something I've
talked about before (and something I have as an extension). I really feel it would ease
things on the UCI front....

The links thing was just a minimal work approach....perhaps "lazy" might be a better
word though.... Cheers.

...while I remember the `extension' to make a /opt/bin and /opt/lib and edit
/etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/profile (to include them) is of course a .tar.gz....not a
.dsl....and its 976 bytes... for people worried about RAM...

This would be very useful. I am looking at DSL for some embedded applications. I am re-mastering to slim DSL way down. Would be nice to have a bare bones version. Other distros have such a "base install" but are still very large (Debian approx 200 Mb, Fedora Core 4 approx 600 Mb).

BUT, do not change the "normal" DSL. It rocks and is so useful for so many people and uses. The slim version could be another version available. I would be willing to help develop/maintain it if needed.

maybe it's better to have a poll for those apps that may have to go, i can certainly name a few which sorta 'get on my nerves'.

Saturn looks great!
Keep up this great work.
Stay on the same path.
Thankyou.
