User Reviews

  • Perfect for super lite distro. Need learning curve busybox, after that work as intended. Keep GJ
  • Thank you, It's works well, but it too slowly when startup, it taken almost 50 second. Could you please change the compression from xz to zst (zstd) ? cmd e.g. tar -I "zstd --ultra -22 -T0" -cf pkg.tar.zst pkg/) It's should be faster, and almost same size with xz.
  • keep it up, proud of you man, thank you
  • Perhaps a bit harsh, but I can't even look at it apparently because it requires a 64 bit system. I'll likely check it out at work, but what's with the "lightweight" declaration. 128M?!? Where exactly are you going to get a 64bit system with 128M, your watch? Dan
  • 4ML is a great DSL replacement. Well done!
