Re: [rtl] What is or where do I find information on the smallest filesystem supported/required file system?

It depends on what you want to do.  I believe it is possible to just have a
/linuxrc file which can be a binary or a bash script.  I guess you will need
some libraries and a loader, bash or ash, any of your own executables.  You
will probably need a /dev directory if you plan on using any special device
files.  I think /linuxrc is executed if the kernel can't find "init".
