I suggest using uclibc to cut on space and memory usage... the upside is.. things should load a bit faster, and you'll save diskspace..

drawbacks:
recompilation of all apps used in DSL
incompatible with glibc-built apps.
couldnt use dpkg to fetch things from debian.

however, on the last thing, my little distro I'm working on, Minute Linux (designed for 486's.. but might expand its abilities) has its own made from scratch package manager, called mglit, which is purely built from ash. (it'll work in bash as well) one bane we have is dependency checking, however, it may be useful to you all once released.

anyways, just my two cents.
