This post is in 'general discussion' to introduce the first part of the thing.
The first thing is to set the kernel config.

linux-4.2; the first topic is mad mumbo jumbo to help me stabilize the kconfig.
small means the kconfig has extra stuff that I want for my personal use.

The second part of the thing is the rootkit that allows us to perpetuate, and then enhance the thing (generated system).

The "VerySmall" linux kconfig is nice, 
but I always end up adding a FB and unix
domain sockets: So, the small linux post
has ideas to be introduced and tested
for inclusion with the very small.

A
Multi-precision is downing the libc++
portion of the project: Discover the 
relation betwixt; (bc & gmp) or
(gmp & bc) and (linux & uClibc).

B
I was about to build a small X Window
for this system, but then I remembered
that the libc was built against an
overly simple kernel; meaning that 
redoing everything with FB and event
busses and such required a system 
rebuild that I didn't feel like doing.

I require a set kconfig for a medium
size(2M) kernel with ACPI, swap, and
some other things that will permit the X
to compile and that will allow the libc 
to do very limited network stuff [this
implies that I have a fine kernel
without ACPI, swap, ext3, and many other
things *because* I'm not going to run X]
