You have found the homepage of ttylinux, a small GNU/Linux system available for several CPU architectures. This small system has an 8 MB file system and runs on i486 computers within 24 MB of RAM, but provides a complete command line environment and is ready for Internet access.
The goal this project is to make one of the smallest up-to-date Linux systems that is similar to a larger distribution. A significant result is the ttylinux build system.
End users may want to use ttylinux on old computers for accessing the Internet, or bootable on a USB disk for a portable s ystem. Developers may want to use ttylinux for their embedded systems, or use the ttylinux build system to create their own varia nt.
Changes:
1. udev module loading for modules with associated bus IDs was fixed. 2. GPM was added for mice. 3. Busybox was updated to the latest version. 4. MIPS was added for the Malta CoreLV variant.... 5. New i486, i686, X86_64, ARM, MIPS, and PowerPC versions are available
