Yes - found that out last night when just about to leave the eee to compile overnight after a merry couple of hours with menuconfig.

Will try again tonight, probably.

on perl dependency: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/2/20

I definitely agree with Rob Landley. Perl should not be needed here, as was not needed before 2.6.25. But, I think it's still in .28. Hopefully they'll come to the better conclusion of just using shell scripts instead of perl, python, lua, insert interpreted language few people use here.

It was the 2.6.28.6 that I was compiling & crashed fairly quickly through lack of perl.

Are there any unusual kernel configs set that are required by tinycore that I should know about? For example, CONFIG_CRAMFS is not set by default in menuconfig - and I think the TCZs use it.

curaga:
Our .config is available at a mirror near you - look for release/src/config-2.6.26-tinycore :)

Cramfs yeah, I think zisofs is disabled by default too (transparent compression of iso9660) (currently tcz are one of these two formats)
