Plus..with the sparked up intrerest in creating a "light" server, maybe someone could then start working on the other GP (general purpose) server..such as Samba, (...insert service here) distro that everyone is hoping for, a server with MyDSL plugins would rock!

64mb, with working LAMP, i am going to try out cramfs to see if i can make it any smaller.

If you are looking for an alternative filesystem with higher compression you might want to investigate squashfs. However I doubt there would be any significant space saving and given the amount of effort a change would require I would suggest sticking with cloop.

With cloop make sure you are using the -b option with create_compressed_fs to enable the highest compression level - this will shave off a few megabytes.

Why not use webmin as the web interface? Is it too big?

It seems like there is no reason for reinventing the wheel...

ok, a few things to say.

firstly i now have a 53mb iso with apache and php working flawlessly and mysql nearly working, this can be reduced to about 47 easily.
secondly: webmin is very big indeed (or so it seemed (might have to check again)) i think it also has a gtk2 dep.

probably some more stuff i forgot, but for now thats it.

ok, trying to compress the knoppix image further with -b (gawd it is slow), also seeing if i can cut down webmin enough to go in it.
