HI Alexander,

I thought I will give a try to Alpine. Downloaded 193M iso. After booting, I realized it boots to text only system. There is no xorg :-( . You need to add xorg, xfce and everything else.

Here's an interesting tiny OS for old computers.  It uses uClibc and a
custom replacement for init called snailit.  The whole OS is gzipped
to 5.8megs and a minimal install is only 15megs.  Anything about it we
can incorporate into Slitaz?  One thing that keeps it small is a
customized 2.0 kernel that's a third the size of the 2.6 kernel, but
maybe snailinit would be useful.  I don't know how big the regular
init is, but this one has some extra functionality...
