Hello. I've been thinking about building my own slackware-based distro and I think I have a decent (read: decent, not thorough =) ) understanding of how slackware is built up. That and the slackware manual should get me somewhere..

However I can't seem to see just how the installation part is created. I remember google'ing for isolinux tools or so. And I actually found them. But what I don't get is how to build this system that boots up. I've made a kernel and I think I'll initially settle for a enviroment capable of:
partitioning, mounting and extracting tar.bz files. Then I'd extract the base system (approx 361mb unpacked) and add a few extra's on the way. Much like vector linux seems to do..

Is there *any* guides that helps me do these things ? I can't seem to find much more than projects like slax which (no offense cause they're good) don't really apply to my situation I'd think...

Thanks for any pointers ...^^

Check out Linux from Scratch - we also have a forum for it on LQ.

Thanks
But ehm.. I don't see how it can help me creating the boot cd. I know how to strip down a system to what I want. I'm also close to knowing what I need in scripting to provide a reasonably good install interface. But I still don't get how I can make an ISO out of a system and have that compressed enough so I can pack another system that I want to install on the computer in there too... Please help... anyone ? *sob*
