I missed out on the 32MB ipxcore craze earlier this year, but it got me thinking about some of my side projects, and how I can make them more efficient. I'd like to set up a VirtualBox instance of a 32MB VM, however I've been having a bit of trouble getting it going.
The steps I took:
- Set up a VM with 256 MB RAM
- Install Debian
- Strip services, general cruft down to minimal (~ 10 MB usage)
The machine boots fine as low as 64 MB allocated to it, but it won't get past the GRUB screen at 32 MB (kernel does not appear to start).
Any ideas how to get this working?
