MeshAP is Slackware 8.1 so choose your fav distro and make a cut down
version. Install the distro on the machine you want to become the meshbox
and compile the sources you need.

With Slackware, the following link shows how to make slackware packages
out of the utilities:

Once you have the utilities ready, the next version you compile you can
deploy with upgradepkg.
