I would really like to be able to build a system
up from scratch. While I appreciate the excellence that is debian, I find that
for understanding how everything fits together building a system up from scratch
helps. Initially I only had the debian install disks, and I had to ftp XFree86
myself and it seemed to make sense, so now I want to do the same for a complete
system. I need to be able to download EVERY component from the net and cobble
together a boot disk, then be able to ftp the rest or copy it off some other
media (disk or cd). Ideally the building of a boot disk sould be able to be done
under any OS, but I'll bow to the groups wisdom in that aspect.
If someone can supply some good pointers or and
idiot proof guide then I'd be grateful. This is probably a really stupid idea
but I want to do it anyway.
Thanks
