LFS - Linux From Scratch

Since working in this new environment I don't have the ample time to blog around. Seems today I have sometime at home to blog, here is some thing to share. Linux from scratch or you can call it LFS. So what is LFS?


LFS is building your own linux distro. Unless you are using other distro's platform. Like I'm using here Meego. I'm trying to compile a complete distro into an embedded system. Does it called embedded system? Hmm..
So what is embedded system?

"An embedded system is a computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions often with real-time computing constraints."

Words from wiki. So basicly, you build your computer and now the OS part. Brainslapped is a friend of mine's blog that plays around with AVR, Arduino and other electronics and stuff to get started on building an embedded from scratch.. So once combined. You get your own computer from scratch!!!!

Here is my work in progress. Well I used an old kernel version 2.6.23. Alot I have to do before this this can be bootup properly. Such as upgrading kernel version and dependencies. I have recently build certain things into here such as below.
