Linux distribution scripted and customized by me, Jas

Philosophy

• Minimal host OS
• Minimal bootstrap/buildtools environment
• Build everything from source
• Have fun learning
• ?
• Prophet!

Getting Started

Current method is using Knoppix as the host distro from which to bootstrap, which is why apt-get is used to install software. This is done by downloading Knoppix, then using KVM to boot into Knoppix:

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chruck/jasix/master/preBootstrapKnopKvm | sh

Current Methodology

• Download ISO from another distro (Knoppix, Gentoo stage 4)
• Create a KVM VM
• Boot the VM into that another distro
• Create btrfs filesystem
• From source, install bootstrap/buildtools environment on that filesystem, starting with busybox
• Bootstrap into that environment
• Build everything else needed from source
