Did you know you can easily make a very small custom-built Linux system? The key is to use the famous "Buildroot" package. This tutorial presents an example to get you started.

Overview
We are going to:
Download Example Files

# Go to some convenient folder cd ~ # Get the example files wget http://odroid.us/odroid/users/osterluk/buildroot-example/buildroot-example.tgz wget http://odroid.us/odroid/users/osterluk/buildroot-example/buildroot-example.tgz.md5sum md5sum -c buildroot-example.tgz.md5sum # Assuming the md5sum is correct, continue tar -xvf buildroot-example.tgz cd buildroot-example
Configure buildroot with just the busybox package:
cp
