Kabylake almost done, will update v2 when complete. Tired of patching unneeded ip4 codes, so ip added to kernel + libc(NLS same). That typed, does now build sweet. Much of the rationale for using older srcs was avoided ip/nls requirements: Likely now easier to just use newer versions, as will be simpler for downloaders. Will assess feasibility of bundling most srcs on site. M4 still needs not Solaris r/w transition in ftello.c update to 1.0.56 fixes (ahem).

dev/sda1 -> other, windos dev/sda2 -> slackware 15.2 dev/sda3 -> other dev/sda4 -> System42 When you install theTool, it leaves you with a small filesystem, you can boot a kernel and then install the libc, cc, and rootkit (from the tarballs in /boot). The etc/fstab can be edited from the default, '/dev/sda4'. Booting using /sbin/init allows better use of the shells/ttys, after which booting uses etc/rc to mount root and procfs. Change directory to /System42 and run theTool, './exe.sh'; check too...

Caveats: Not ncurses 6.4 instead 6.3. libsigsegv 2.15 does build. Need LARGEFILE64, circa 2005-2010. Want kabylake/core2, and c++17, man pages. Doesn't want: framebuffer, modules, encryptions or storages.

Hi K. Clements, Yes, I am. The project is now called SYSTEM42 If you can post into the project's "General Discussion" forum that would help. Andrew

Hi, Help me proof, write, or do installation/instructions for a mini-dist (see 'theTool-v1.tar.gz'). The 'mini-dist' is a fixed, linux x86_64 system source-builder for uClibc. The minidist has a small kernel; bundled by me or built by you. This is a fully functional alpha release. Thank You, Andrew

X86_64-LFS-linuc-uclibc A verysmall linux with libc, bash, and emacs. Filesys fits on one screen. Works fast and bootstraps c++ Install it, use it, make changes! Needs help, too much for just me. Dru
