Have you even looked at the LFS project[1]? And what does your guide provide that LFS doesn't? [1] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ http://www.linuxfromscratch

- partycoder 9y agoExactly my thoughts, though more projects focused on this wouldn't do any harm.
- accurrent 9y agoActually LFS teaches you about the whole GNU Userland, getting a kernel up and running with busybox is much easier. This project does just that - teaching you the bare minimum.
- jbit 9y agoThe embedded version of CLFS (Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch) covers building a musl + busybox system: http://clfs.org/view/clfs-embedded/x86/ http://clfs.org/view/clfs-embedded/x86/ But the more resources available on this kind of thing the better IMHO, there's not really a one size fits all :)
- exDM69 9y agoThis uses BusyBox instead of GNU userland tools. You can complete this in an afternoon, but you can't get LFS done in that time.
- agumonkey 9y agoexcept by skipping through ALFS :p
- jokr004 9y agoThe user who submitted this to HN is not the same person who owns this github repo.
- michielderhaeg 9y agoIt's supposed to be a lot shorter and simpler. Which means many important things were left out for the sake of brevity. I also think LFS doesn't always explain why we are doing certain things a certain way or how things work. Sure you get a working system but it's often assumed you know why it's working. I'm not sure if I did a better job though.
