Title: How do I build Tiny Core from Source?
Post by: oldtimeyjunk on January 24, 2010, 10:08:20 PM

Hello Everyone!

I was wanting to know how you can build Tiny Core from Source. I have made a system from Linux From Scratch before so I do know kind of what I'm doing but I have no idea on how to build things from source! I am currently using Linux Mint if thats any help and I don't mind it being deleted as its on Virtualbox. Any Help would be appreciated!

LFS is an explanation on how to build from source  ???

Go to the Linux from Scratch website and tell them it should be called Linux from Source.

On the serious side, what do you want to achieve?

If you haven't installed Tiny Core and used it, I suggest you do that first. Information can be found on the wiki.

It can be installed much quicker than Mint.

If you want to make modifications, tiny core comes as a lot of separate parts, you can just modify the parts you want to modify, and use the others as they are.

If you want to add programs which are not already available, you can learn how to make extensions.

If you have specific questions, post them.

Yea I do have Tiny Core and its mint!!
I just want to see if I can make a minimal desktop like TinyCore!
Anyway, is the stuff I need for Linux From Scratch Source  :P avalible on the download manager because even though I am a vivid Linux User I don't know how to compile my own programs (even though I can use LFS!)

BLFS looks like the place to be, if you need instructions beyond LFS. Follow it for Xorg and one of the window managers, I think fluxbox would be the best of those in the book.
