Boss.
On one of our projects, we are only allocated a 32Mb footprint in which to
fit kernel, root filesystem, essential libs (c and curses for example), and
our actual product.
A component of our product is a configuration gui that we wrote in py. We
put a lot of effort into shrinking down py and getting it as small as we
could in order to fit on the filesystem (recall that running a linux system
writes stuff (utmp for example) that must have space above your installation
waterline). We had a lot of success.
I'm very encouraged and excited about this project.
Definitely keep the world posted, as this could really open some doors for us.
