install

Hi, I found this http://serverfault.com/questions/29071/red-hat-server-minimal-install question while searching google for debian minimal install.

User shylent wrote thet he uses really basic debian install so small that processes can count on one hand fingers :D.

So Im searching and asking for starting point to create basic linux distro but not from scratch like LFS but make linux distro based on debian for example.

I used debootstrap but still it is 150M large.
