There are two books that I know of, and neither completely
cover the topic. They are:
"Building Embedded Linux Systems", K. Yaghmour, O'Reilly,
ISBN 0-596-00222-X
"Embedded Linux", J. Lombardo, New Riders,
ISBN 0-7357-0998-X
There are several project pages, with varying levels of
documentation quality. I would suggest searching Google linux
for keywords like "embedded", "tiny", and "minimal". Also
look at the syslinux, isolinux and such at
http://syslinux.zytor.com/index.php Check out
http://busybox.net/ for info on building the base system.
There is a sharp learning curve in all of this, but it's fun.
