Why, you might ask, would anyone want to build their own operating system? It's really about being in control and knowing what's going on.In the next few paragraphs I'll explain what motivated me to take on this project, the recipe I used, and what I like about it.

Well my opinion is that LFS is a little heavy yet...
What I've made is untarring the base from slackware at the root partition, gcc and some devel packages, and compiled everything. It fits in less than 200 mb and runs pretty fast in a P75 with 24 RAM. Boots in about 12 seconds. Oh, before I forget, my ps:
-init
-[kflushd]
-[kupdate]
-[kswapd]
-[keventd]
-/sbin/dhcpcd
-/gpm -m /dev/mouse
- -bash
[three agetty's to emulate the terminals]
