If the kernel is built with every possible device driver that's an awful lot of modules, but 50 megabytes still seems like an awful lot. Don't mistake the source code for the kernel itself -- you don't need the .c files to make the system boot. A light distro just gives you the binary part.

Light-weight alternative to `df` (without SNMP)

Overview: I'm looking for a way to get usage data for all mount points (UFS,VxFS & NFS) on a Solaris system. I'm starting with `df` but would like to find something that might be more light-weight. Background: Using SNMP is not an option in this case, instead I need to use basic built-in...

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

dist::zilla::app::command::build

Dist::Zilla::App::Command::build(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		     Dist::Zilla::App::Command::build(3pm)

NAME

       Dist::Zilla::App::Command::build - build your dist

VERSION

       version 4.300020

SYNOPSIS

	 dzil build [ --trial ] [ --tgz | --no-tgz ] [ --in /path/to/build/dir ]

DESCRIPTION

       This command is a very thin layer over the Dist::Zilla "build" method, which does all the things required to build your distribution.  By
       default, it will also archive your distribution and leave you with a complete, ready-to-release distribution tarball.

EXAMPLE

	 $ dzil build
	 $ dzil build --no-tgz
	 $ dzil build --in /path/to/build/dir

OPTIONS

   --trial
       This will build a trial distribution.  Among other things, it will generally mean that the built tarball's basename ends in -TRIAL.

   --tgz | --no-tgz
       Builds a .tar.gz in your project directory after building the distribution.

       --tgz behaviour is by default, use --no-tgz to disable building an archive.

   --in
       Specifies the directory into which the distribution should be built.  If necessary, the directory will be created.  An archive will not be
       created.
