I doubt that few, if any, would recommend my goals or route.
I'd certainly recommend your approach over building your own distro! Although
I might give Linux From Scratch a plug. If learning's your goal andit isn't
too low-level for you, you'll learn a lot about how GNU/Linux is built from
source packages.
*BINGO* - see below ;/
From my reading, I suspect that I'm headed down a path
similar to an old/abandoned project for a highly
customizable small footprint Linux install. [Can't recall
the project's name.]
Puppy Linux? Damn Small Linux?
Puppies, DSL, Tiny Core etc. was where I started after
deciding Ubuntu Wasn't for me.
Although I considered Puppies overweight with missing
required features and it was unclear if DSL could access a
suitable code library, they demonstrated that one could do a
lot in far less than 1 *FULL* CD.
"Linux From Scratch" is the project I was thinking of. I
discounted it at the time as I last did compile-link-load
~30 years ago. No thanks. There is probably much there that
will help me define my project goals.
You just saved me a lot of searching. Thank you.
