I started out with Model-K, hacked out a few more packages (ISDN, and dialup support), added X, and added the very small kdrive Xvesa. That got X working, though I'd like to add some configuration options. The Kdrive servers only work with command line options

After that I added Links Hacked, which is a great little browser -- it does js, ssl, http, ftp, frames, cookies, http Auth, but is still rather small. I compiled it on host host machine, then moved it over to the chrooted dir and apt-get'ed the dependencies.

Added basic X utilities...

Added nVi, which is a Vi small clone...

Added tinyirc...

That got me over 55M, so then I went on the hunt for logs, temp files and docs to remove. I finally got under 50M when I purged the apt cache, I figured it is easy enough to rebuild.

I did it mostly to see if it was possible within the KNOPPIX framework. It is not really on par with lnx-bbc, though I like my choice of browsers better.
