I created this on March 17, 2011

It has uClibc 0.9.32rc3, linux-headers 2.6.32.

This is a ext2 root filesystem that you can chroot into, for compiling cli programs. Probably the main reason that you would use this is to create static executables (much smaller than linking with libc).

To use, gunzip it, then:

# mkdir mntpt
# mount -t ext2 -o loop rootfs-uclibc-201103.ext2 mntpt
# chroot mntpt /bin/sh
> exit
#

The filesystem has about 220MB free space in it. If you want to increase this by another 220MB:

# dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=220000 >> rootfs-uclibc-201103.ext2
# e2fsck -f rootfs-uclibc-201103.ext2
# resize2fs rootfs-uclibc-201103.ext2

The root f.s. was built with Buildroot, http://buildroot.uclibc.org/
The Buildroot .config file is DOTconfig20110318-1009
