Other from scratch tutorials?
LFS has been extremely educational for me. I have gone through it a few times, but I don't have a complete install yet. I just dabbled with it to get a better understanding and I plan to build a system around LFS in the near future.
At the same time, I have been looking over the internet to find other from scratch tutorials and came to a conclusion to ask this question here.
If I don't want a complete system, I just want to boot the kernel into a bash prompt and have some tools and maybe a compiler. Is there a tutorial to just get a kernel up and running.
There are 2 reasons I want to do this.
1. I simply want to create the most minimal functional machine not having a complete os.
2. I thought it would be a great hobby idea, to try to get a desktop to boot just like an embedded system, where the only thing that runs is 1 single application. Like an old school arcade machine. I do some programming and I am interested in making an arcade type game. It would be great to have a minimal boot system that dedicates the entire machine to the application.
Asking here is my first stop on trying to figure this out.
