I'm convinced that a fully-fledged image of that would be similar to #toybox's #mkroot, which is @landley 's reference implementation for a toxbox + #musl / #linux system.

Last time I checked it came out just below 4 MB, but that was the premade image using only the stuff toybox included [and linux & being statically compiled against musl] like #gzip instead of #xz for compression, so there already is room to shave a few hundred kB without reducing functionality out of the get-go as I've seen with my build tests of #kernel666...

Either way, we're close to his reference matterial AFAICT and I do think that OS/1337 can become a good and solid foundation for #minimalist & #embedded systems.

For comparison:

#YoctoLinux is quite #THICC in comparison (using LSB & #GNUtils for the most part!) and stuff like #OpenADK seems to be overly complex...
- tho #Viprinet hasn't updated their stuff in like 8 years and I sincerely hope that's just them loginwalling access to #SourceCode like #grsecurity to paying customers only and not them such old Kernels.

Speaking of #grsec, I wounder if Bruce Perens actually sued them for allegedly violating #GPLv2 when in fact said license allows #paywalling aka. restricting access to buyers of the product it contains.
