small binaries

thinking about small binaries

i was checking to see if there was a newer version of EasyOS(which is now based on Devuan) and this rabbithole was the result:

someday i would like to breakdown 4.4.10 Damn Small Linux(the last one before Robert Shingledecker went full-time on Tiny Core Linux) just to see if it could be somewhat modernized. also see Slitaz and the various Puppy Linux spins.

yes, i know dsl is supposedly "back" but it isn't small anymore(not that anything is these days).
