Comment 1 Darren Hart 2011-10-06 09:59:53 UTC 
Some has already been done on this and is documented here:

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Minimal_Image

I have incorporated these ideas in:

http://git.infradead.org/users/dvhart/meta-tiny.git

As well as adding linux-yocto-tiny which removes perf and KERNEL_FEATURES and provides a space for me to work with config fragments.

TODOs:
o Make busybox more configurable from recipe space
o Make qemu know how to deal with non /dev/sda type names, ie 0800
o Document analyzing FS and kernel sizes to pinpoint things to eliminate
o ... more to come

poky-tiny is now in master. There is sure to be some follow-up work based on user feedback, etc. New bugs should be opened to address specific issues remaining with poky-tiny.
