Debian in 100 MB ?

[Peter Billson]

We are running a router/firewall from a standard Debian distro using
111Mb, but this includes keeping a local set of logs so getting to your
100Mb mark should be easy.

To duplicate the machine after the first set up either dd to a second
disk, and change config files, or do a standard install and do a dpkg
--get-selections '*' > package.list from the master and a dpgk
--set-selections < package.list on the second, third, etc. machine.
Finish up with a apt-get dselect-upgrade and you have a second machine
with all the same packages.

You also could burn the system to a CD and run from there.

I'm curious where your 100Mb goal came from?
