Dear all i want to install a small or embedded os on the main board,via's EPIA http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/ i have installed desktop-like ubuntu and netbsd both with x window on it (start x successfully not yet in netbsd ) ubuntu has most hardware supports both need 256 mb ~ 512 mb without any kernel tuning or package slimming I need a os with software dvd player and usb driver hope size is around 32mb after surfing the net tiny x server sounds good so i think my kernel based on ubuntu + tiny x server + vlc(it takes around 10 mb ^^a ) (about dvd player , i just want decoder support mpeg 2 the most popular one in the hardware dvd player now ) any body has better solution? Sincerely Michael

You can fit kernel (with framebuffer driver) and mplayer into a 32Mb boot image size easily, though I would suggest 64~128Mb RAM.
