I need a small linux Text only version bootable installed on a partition of my hardrive, How can I customize a Linux version like redhat, debian, puppy etc. Please suggest some suitable distribution?

A:
Depends on what you call small and what the purpuse of the installation is. I'd recommend [Debian stable][1] (Lenny) or [Ubuntu-server][2] for server-purposes. A really small distro is [Damn Small Linux][3]. If you just want to play around with a small-as-possible distro, you can try the time-consuming [Linux-from-Scratch][4].

The functionality I required is all hardware of my system working, some commands like wget, dd, ssh, grub boot loader.

arch linux is not what he is looking for. he needs a simple solution, not dig 3 days to compile solution.

O'ho. Actually I'm on arch. And maybe you are wrong. Do you think it's Gentoo? Or LFS?
