Post by: yueluck on January 28, 2010, 03:03:21 AM

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.

+loop-aes, +squashfs-warnings, +ide-warnings

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

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