See below for version descriptions and how to install them. All versions can be install for i686 (32bit) or amb64 (64bit). If you install using the i686 live cd, it installs i686, if you install using the amd64 live cd, it installs amd64. Do NOT install these distros. These are personal distros, very rough installer, can easily ruin y...

My Attempts to get my own compiled kernel to boot on my Palm Zire72 I am currently trying to build a simple busybox system for i386 using Buildroot http:buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html It's compiling now, been going for about 15 minutes on my Athlon X2 2GHz I am also testing Scratchbox http:www.scratchbox.org/documentation/user/scratchbox-1.0/html/tutorial.html Followed http:buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html and it took about 20 minutes on my Athlon X2 2Ghz.

Would really like to learn more about embedded linux. Found an incredible website about Bootdisks and the boot process at http:www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO which will be a good start. Later I will tackle Linux from Stratch at http:www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter01/how.html Also found some nice articles on a Tiny Busybox system written by the creator of BusyBox himself!

Always leave the 3 primary partitions as large ones, to use for OS's that must be installed on primary Remeber, max 15 partitions (or is it 14, sda14?) If you have multiple drives, use only 1 swap to save partition numbers Pick 1 super small fast distro as your main distro which uses /boot. (or not? just grib-install to boot part?) Very Important (see Differences in partition formatting below) Format all drives and partition with the same OS, newer e2fs formatters are incompatible, grub won't b...
