smallest livecd installaion

[Veaceslav Grecea]

Hello.

I'd like to ask whether is it possible to create a smallest livecd
installation image.
We need one within 5-10 Mb.
Only coreutils, bash, kernel and ssh-client, and some more due to packages
dependencies.
All our experiments lead to results ~100Mb image size.

Thank you.

Probably not with Fedora. But you can try with DSL:

That's the smallest Linux distro I know about. There may be 
other embeded Linux distro's that you could adapt for your 
purpose.

Kind Regards,

Have you looked at febootstrap?

This might point you in the right direction.
