Cross compilation
-----------------
Great. When tools are built, I will start thinking about porting SliTaz
to powerpc
Packages size
-------------
One new thing I also introduce is a compilation flag for GCC wich
optimize packages for size. The option is -Os and we gain on all
packages wich means a lot of megs in the all distro! I dont have all
core packages builded yet, but I hope we will go back under 30Mb with
this new flag.
This makes me feel very uncomfortable. What is the point ? Who needs
that ? Is it only for entering Guiness book of records ?
My decision about using or not using SliTaz doesn't depends on a few
less Mb, but on
-1- Boot features: both boot speed and boot flexibility ( network )
-2- Execution speed and RAM used
-3- Ease of customization
-4- Fresh kernel 2.6.39
Furthermore, always refering to KISS each time a decision is to be made,
makes me also uncomfortable. True life isn't that simple. Simple tools
solve only simple problems. Making a computer system simple for the user
is a complex task !
