Slimned down version of gentoox
Posted: Thu Jan 18, 2007 12:30 am
I would like to install gentoox on my xbox but cannot justify giving up so much hard drive space to something that I will only use to browse the web occasionally & check emails.
I have Mepis linux installed on my main PC so you can see I don't need a full distro on the xbox.
Is it possible to have a basic distro with xfce desktop and just a few apps like firefox & thunderbird with all the necessary plugins & codecs like flash, Java, realplayer, mplayer & mplayer plugin, win32 codecs etc & anything needed for installing extra software from portage. Anyone can always add more software as they need it. I just want something that boots quickly and takes a minimum of space.
