Thank you...Daneil and John... My device configuration is as follows. CPU : intel Celeron M 1.60 Ghz DIMM : W/DDR 1GB ECC IDE(Primary Master) : Compact Flash (1 GB) IDE(Primary Master) : Compact Flash (256 GB)
My confusion is that if it is possible to customize the CentOS for my application.

I have installed centos-3 in a mini ITX with 256MB /RAM and 1GB CF (I was unable to find the 256GB one).. minimal install and then reduced further the disk usage. I customized it for our streaming customers (darkice+a heavily reduced centos). Text only
Pretty same embedded system:: on a C3 1Ghz, 512 Mb of ram (256 for system memory and 256 in "ramdisk" to use /var and /tmp in read/write mode) and a 512Mb CF: The way to minimize is like other distro: rm -rf /usr/share/doc :)
And of course, vanish yum, and install apt-get :)
I have been thinking to slim centos by recompiling every RPM without the docs and several other tricks to make it less fatter.. of course it wont be the real centos but some sort of reduced copy.
BTW, I found that debian was easier to install in such a hardware and set aside my plans to reduce CentOS size.. but maybe one day I will get back to it.

You can slim a Centos to .. 300Mo, it's working fine and let you about 215Mo for archiving and update features (glibc is the worst package to update :-/ )
At last, you can have a graphical desktop (xfce or a gnome desktop) in 512Mo i think, but maybe the manpages will be delete too.
