Re: [Xen-users] Small distro for DomU?

["John Fairbairn" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ttylinux(which is busybox based) makes a great base distro for these
purposes, then compile anything you need statically and switch out your
glibc etc. use ldd to find out what needs changing. It's a pretty simple
affair really. If you need help just send another msg and I'd be happy to
share the basics of my particular method.

HTH.
