Yup. However, you need to have tooling around it (remote debugging,  
etcetera) to work on the image, etcetera. It makes the process decidedly  
less trivial than when you have everything in a single image, tools  
etcetera.

I'm a bit worried that this minimal image will take quite some time to get  
really good. Whereas there are acceptable small images available right  
now, and my idea is that we could take it from two directions: upwards,  
building distributions on it; downwards, slicing it down towards the  
ultimate goal of a 'kernel' image.
