| Summary : Small system utilities for embedded systems
|
Description :
Most of the typical Unix userland typically comes from either the
GNU project or the BSD people. Those sources are ancient and
optimized for features, not for small size, and now that computers
are fast enough and have lots of RAM, implementations became
larger and larger. Features like internationalization eat lots of
memory and disk space.
For embedded system and boot disks (and desktops and servers for
purist Unix users), you rather want small than internationalized
versions of the utilities. That\'s why I started to reimplement a
few important typical userland programs that I need on boot and
rescue disks, making sure that you can link it against diet libc
to create very small statically linked binaries.
