Ask the author about x86 (i386) template as well :) if he will have
enough requests he may consider doing it :)

Well, as a minimum you should
(1) modify /etc/fstab so it will not try mounting your real hard disk
partition(s)
(2) remove getty from /etc/inittab
(3) some suse versions requires to comment out one line in /sbin/rc
(will tell you later which one)

Everything else is optimizations. This can include:

(4) quit using tmpfs for /dev
(5) moving from udev to static /dev
(6) remove extra entries from /dev to save disk space and inodes
(7) remove kernel, grub, kernel module tools - those are not needed (in
order for RPM to be happy, you might add a short dummy rpm which
virtually 'Provides:' all this stuff)
(8) modify initscripts to boot faster
(9) ...and so on.
But those are just optimizations -- they are not strictly required.

We have included a lot of security fixes in our kernel (all that are
known to date) -- just read change logs.
