Re: reducing the rootfs size

[Luis Koo <luis.koo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Remove usefulness components/libs/man pages/documents of the system.
Use "tiny" tools like "busybox" instead of other general "rich and fat" ones.
Follow through the general boot procedure, keep only the necessary
services actually using, like init, mount, networking.
