PTXdist is a GPL licensed tool which can be used to customize Linux and
the GNU userland for all kinds of embedded systems, like PLCs, data
loggers, firewalls etc. It provides a kconfig configuration system and a
Makefile based framework to document how an embedded Linux was created.
The archive is small and downloads all necessary source archives from
the original web sites with wget.
