# E-scripts on making very small Linuxes
#
# Note 1: use the eev command (defined in eev.el) and the
# ee alias (in my .zshrc) to execute parts of this file.
# Executing this file as a whole makes no sense.
# An introduction to eev can be found here:
#
#   (find-eev-quick-intro)
#   http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-eev-quick-intro.html
#
# Note 2: be VERY careful and make sure you understand what
# you're doing.
#
# Note 3: If you use a shell other than zsh things like |&
# and the for loops may not work.
#
# Note 4: I always run as root.
#
# Note 5: some parts are too old and don't work anymore. Some
# never worked.
#
# Note 6: the definitions for the find-xxxfile commands are on my
# .emacs.
#
# Note 7: if you see a strange command check my .zshrc -- it may
# be defined there as a function or an alias.
#
# Note 8: the sections without dates are always older than the
# sections with dates.

# Testing a boot in a small HD partition

Posso até usar só um subdiretório, e chroot.

Posso pôr coisa demais, fazer os rcs criarem um arquivo vazio só pra
marcar o tempo, e depois com um find ver que arquivos foram acessados.

Posso dar um chroot esperto depois do boot pequeno que me leve a algo
que é quase o resultado do boot normal (só que a gente vai ter rodado
algumas inicializações usando configurações mínimas, e talvez algumas
bibliotecas sejam reduzidas).
