I'm kinda new to the Linux/Unix world and find it a little overwhelming the number of variants. When I found nanolinux I thought it intreguing and wanted to give it a try. Thus far I have not been successful in installing it onto either the USB or the hard disk. (But that is another matter...)
What I would like to do is (if the source is available) trim it further by removing the internet radio package and the spreadsheet and the word processing, etc., and just have the kernel and some kind of package management only as the core.
Then experiment with what components/packages I can add like Firefox... I think this (addition of Firefox) is against the philosiphy of nanolinux but I would like to generate several of these kinds of "low OS overhead and one large component" variants.
Is this possible?
Any suggestions, pointers appreiated.

Firefox is much bigger than the entire Nanolinux distro.
