Building Light weight Distro

Don't know whether this is right category for this question. I request please consider it and advice correct cotegory if required. Here goes my question.

I want to build a distribution using debian/ubuntu. Currently i'm refering LinuxFromScratch.org, which is asking me a space for around 10gb. I know a distribution slitaz (SliTaz GNU/Linux (en)) which is merely of 35mb in size.
My question is how can we build such a light distribution when just kernel comes in 50+mb.

Please let me know about any resource that will guide me for building a light distribution. I want to have minimum number of package.

How to simulate light weight process (LWP)?

Hello, We had a problem on a Solaris system (SunOS 5.10) that hit LWP limit and caused fork 11 error. Now we need to come up with a script to simulate and reproduce that scenario. What would be a simple and valid way to generate lots of Light Weight Processes? Thanks, Jay

NAME

       seeded-in-ubuntu - Determine whether a package is safe to upload during a freeze

SYNOPSIS

       seeded-in-ubuntu [options] package...

DESCRIPTION

       Lists all the current daily images containing the specified packages.  Or whether the package is part of the supported seed.

       If it isn't on an image, it should be safe to upload.  During the final freeze, one should avoid packages in the supported seed too.

       An index of the current manifests is downloaded from UbuntuWire.

OPTIONS

       -b, --binary
	      The  packages  specified	are  binary packages.  This is faster than source packages, as otherwise we must query LP to determine the
	      binary packages that every specified source package builds.

       -u URL, --data-url=URL
	      URL for index of seeded packages.  Default: UbuntuWire's service at http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ubuntu-seeded-packages/seeded.json.gz.

       -h, --help
	      Display a help message and exit

EXAMPLES

       All the images that contain unity:

	      seeded-in-ubuntu -b unity
