These programs 37 waste disk space or CPU cycles. It is not difficult to build an CLFS 38 system of less than 100 megabytes (MB), which is substantially smaller 39 than the majority of existing installations. Does this still sound like a 40 lot of space? A few of us have been working on creating a very small 41 embedded CLFS system. We successfully built a system that was specialized 42 to run the Apache web server with approximately 8MB of disk space used. 43 Further stripping could bring this down to 5 MB or less. Try that with a 44 regular distribution! This is only one of the many benefits of designing 45 your own Linux implementation.</para> 37 waste disk space or CPU cycles.
