embdebian - smaller Debian install

I've created an install script for the emdebian grip version of squeeze:

cd /tmp
wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/dockstar.emdebian-squeeze.sh
chmod +x dockstar.emdebian-squeeze.sh
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin
./dockstar.emdebian-squeeze.sh

The base emdebian install is 182M versus 250M for the normal debian install.

Will I be able to install this in the internal NAND?

If you install uBoot on mtd0, yes.

Thanks for replying.

Can you tell me how to go about doing it? I just got my dockstar yesterday. :)

I had to add this line to the install script to be able to run it without error:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin


This is the first time I've heard of emdebian. It seems to be a better fit for dockstar. Are you aware of any disadvantages of running this instead of the full debian?

^ Did you install it in the internal NAND or a USB flash drive?

Jeff - If I want to install it in the internal NAND, can I use the same installer provided I replace the existing bootloader?

Instructions for installing this to the NAND are available here.
