That could be hard, because the amount of tinyness which can be forced on the VM versus, say, IPV4 will vary from application to application. I think this is best solved with documentation, frankly. Just itemise where the large memory-consumers are, how much they can be reduced, how to reduce them and what the consequences of this are. There's quite a bit of stuff out there - just google for "linux embedded memory requirements reduce". It's a matter of pulling it all together. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
