I think the poster of this thread is referring to making a LFS distro. There's a project called Linux From Scratch. Where it guides you through making your own distro out of the current distro on your system. I remember seeing a guide online that O'Reily posted where they had stripped down a distro that was around 600mb and made a server distro that was 8 or 10mb. I think the poster of this thread was saying create a linux distro tailored to eqemu. Might be wrong what its what I gathered by reading it.
If this is the case, Ive used such methods above to create my own LFS tailored to eqemu. Started off with Trustix Secure Linux distro, and stripped it down to what I wanted, and included all packages necessary to run an eqemu server but nothing beyond server stuff. Also, since i dont play on the server computer, I left the distro as text based, with scripts that automatically loaded a text menu with start, stop, restart, and configured it to automatically start eqemu on bootup. This can be done very easily just gotta know your scripting.
Ive tailored everything to my hardware, stripped down the kernel to only look for my hardware and features that I use.
In short, a distro tailored specifically for eqemu is nice, but because everyone uses different hardware and configs I dont see a LFS being supported by eqemulator anytime soon. Instead I think if you want a LFS then you will have to do it yourself, thats the only way you can truly tailor it to your system.
