with:

Invalid multibyte data detected. There may be a mismatch between your data and your locale.
5.28 make-4.2.1:
test for loadavg will fail with:
Can’t locate test_driver.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl) at ./run_make_tests.pl line 61.
Note: Optional tests were not run in chapter 6 if they required BLFS packages or needed to be run after installation or rebooting.
Using systemd static network config
On my first attempt I missed virtio_blk on kernel config – doh! Booted from the Arch ISO and re-entered chroot, fixed kernel config and rebooted.
Wow! 32MB used! Time to tweak…
I wonder how much systemd itself adds vs services starting up…
Not much in the way of services running
Tweaky!
Down to 28MB now…
Moar tweaky!
Oops, too much – need cgroups for tmpfs – doh!
Down to 26MB now…
Ethernet device changed names from ens3 to enp0s3 – fixed in static network file and renamed file, rebooted, and we now have networking up and running, pinged google.com <16ms
I think that is about it – 20MB!
