Dear Devuaners,

inspired by the recent thread about unofficial devuan live images
obtained with refracta tools, in the last few days I have been
experimenting with a small-footprint version of Devuan Jessie Beta. My
goal was to obtain a fully functional minimal system using standard
Devuan packages and less than 250 MB. The main purpose would be a
minimal system to put on a small USB key or on a card CDROM.

The results of those experiments can be found here:

http://devuan.kalos.mine.nu/

It is a minimal UNOFFICIAL live ISO image of Devuan Jessie Beta, which
includes a few ncurses-based personal productivity packages, a couple
of editors, basic versions of perl and python, and some additional
stuff. Nothing more. No bloat. No X. Even if I am considering adding
Xorg + DWM, at the cost of a few more megabytes.

The image boots in a few seconds, and should run on anything amd64
with more than 64MB of RAM. I will probably provide also an i386
image.

Please feel free to try it and send comments and/or suggestions. I
will now try to understand how the whole process can be simplified
using the devuan sdk.
