My aim is to build a troll distribution. The Linux From Scratch way
seems the best tool. My first problem was to create a new partition on
my harddrive. Thanks to ubuntu I have masterd it. Together with
gparted I have now 5 different partitions:
ext3 = 2 GB
FAT16 = 50 MB
minix = 20 MB
ext3 = 200 MB
FAT16 = 100 MB

Then I was interupted by an idea: Linux is the wrong operating system,
I wanna build my own OS, and all that. So I decided to take a look at
http://www.osdev.org
But the tutorial for a really small OS is based on "how to build a
ramdisk". This ramdisk ideology is wellknown as initrd from the linux-
community. It is the easiest way to manage your kernel. I mean that:
/dev/...
/proc/...
/usr/share
/media
... is only a ramdisk in your memory. Now i try to understand what
mkinitrd really does. Until then I eat the neighbour-child.
