+@node Reduced Binary Seed Bootstrap
+@section The Reduced Binary Seed Bootstrap
+
+Guix---like other GNU/Linux distributions---is traditionally bootstrapped from
+a set of bootstrap binaries: Bourne shell, command-line tools provided by GNU
+Coreutils, Awk, Findutils, `sed', and `grep' and Guile, GCC, Binutils, and the
+GNU C Library (@pxref{Bootstrapping}).  Usually, these bootstrap binaries are
+``taken for granted.''
+
+Taking these binaries for granted means that we consider them to be a correct
+and trustworthy `seed' for building the complete system.  Therein lies a
+problem: the current combined size of these bootstrap binaries is about 250MB
+(@pxref{Bootstrappable Builds,,, mes, Mes Reference Manual}).  Auditing or
+even inspecting these is next to impossible.
+
+For @code{i686-linux}, Guix now features a ``Reduced Binary Seed'' bootstrap
+@footnote{We would like to say: ``Full Source Bootstrap'' and while we are
+working towards that goal it would be hyperbole to use that term for what we
+do now.}.
+
+The Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap removes the most critical tools---from a
+trust perspective---from the bootstrap binaries: GCC, Binutils and the GNU C
+Library are replaced by: @code{mescc-tools-seed} (a tiny assembler and linker)
+@code{mes-seed} (a small Scheme Interpreter and a C compiler writen in Scheme)
+and @code{tinycc-seed} (the Mes C Library, built for TinyCC).  Using these new
+binary seeds and a new set of
+@c
+packages@footnote{@c

+the ``missing'' Binutils, GCC, and the GNU C Library are built from source.
+From here on the more traditional bootstrap process resumes.  This approach
+has reduced the bootstrap binaries in size to about 130MB.  Work is ongoing to
+reduce this further.  If you are interested, join us on @code{#bootstrappable}
