my understanding of tinycore

[yueluck]

I>get config from:http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/release/src/
using config-2.6.29.1-tinycore and busybox-1.14.3-config,you can build bzImage and rootfs!!!
II>meanwhile i have somequestions.
1.linux-2.6.29.1-patched.tar.bz2 is for what??
2.how you did that, ulibc.tar.gz size is 2.2M??
3.in tinycore.gz,where /init is used??
4.what is the develop-environment,build  tinycore applications.
4.usually,if i build a application,it will be a big one .it link many libs.

1.linux-2.6.29.1-patched.tar.bz2 is for what??

patched to add the tinycore boot logo

4.what is the develop-environment,build  tinycore applications.

use the compiletc meta-extension

4.usually,if i build a application,it will be a big one .it link many libs.

you mean statically link? Why not dynamically link?

/init is used as the very first step of boot after kernel. It copies the initramfs to tmpfs so that df shows root space.

ido not know how to build a mini-glibc,or mini-uclibc!
glibc it is almost like 60M

Yes, but you don't need all of it - look at the file lists for the libc extensions
