I hacked initramfs-tools so I could run ubuntu on a 2 gigabyte partition
and I was wondering whether it was worthwhile pushing the changes
upstream.
What I do specifically is first install ubuntu on a 8 gigabyte flash
disk. Then I further configure the system the way I want and squash the
root file system. Finally, I write the squashed root file system to a 2
gigabyte flash disk.
With my hack to initramfs-tools, which simply union mounts the squashed
root with a cow layer, I get a usable desktop on a 2 gigabyte partition.
