embedded Linux(x86) development--distro modification or LFS?

[Pinczakko]

Hi,
When developing Linux based embedded system, which one is the most efficient (in terms of development time), stripping down a distribution like Slackware or building it from scratch by using LFS. The constraints of the system-wide design are:
1. x86 platform -- Pentium M based with micro ATX form factor.
2. Storage : 1GB CompactFlash
3. RAM: 512MB DDR2
4. I/O: PS/2 port (keyboard/mouse) unused, video output not needed.
5. System will be managed remotely through SSH.
6. Will be running Java-based application --> JVM will be used.

TIA,
Pinczakko

Hi,

building the Linux system from scratch is not impossible. I just finishing a project which is almost the same specification. I did it in 3 months with a very low experience in Linux as I started the project.
i could give you the following suggestion:
1. read the book from Karim Yaghmour for the basic Linux system, for the toolchain use crosstool (http://kegel.com/crosstool/).
2. installtion of JRE is very easy, just download the package from Sun's website and and extract
3. install the X windows system, and the windows manager. i use IceWM since it is realtively lightweight.

hope this helps,
regards,
