Has anybody put together a tiny distro for PPC?
Well, things are going well here with my project to get linux + some custom apps on a custom, but very walnut-like, ppc platform. I have a 2.4 kernel + initrd booting on my walnut, the custom software works fine on PPC, and I have a BDI2000 + bdiGDB JTAG debugger on order. As soon as the debugger shows up, I plan on getting PPCBoot running, but in the mean time, I'm working out what the final package will look like.
To that end, I was wondering if anybody has put together a very small distro that's suitable for an initrd? I'm thinking of something like one of the linux-on-a-floppy sized distros (linux router project is one I used in the past), but cross-compiled for PPC?
If not, I'll try to put mine up when it's done, but I thought I'd ask.......
thanks,
dave.
