     @infwonder: I'm trying to make a minimal LiveCD at the moment, it's taking a bit more effort than I'd hoped!

     @seawolf: I am trying to build a distribution myself, LFS looks good, just not sure if it's the only way ...

     @nperez Thank you, I did know and love this tiny distro, but I want to learn more about how it was built, and I am not thinking a LiveCD.

     @seawolf: As matthieujoly mentioned, Slitaz! seems to have a good 'from scratch" doc for livecd building.

     @infwonder: your best bet then would be to google around for LFS (!linux from scratch). Also, the nds distro is uC based if you want smaller

     @infwonder @matthieujoly: That's pretty much what we're going for! Thanks!

     @nperez: Yeah, I guess LFS is the best one so far ...
