Useless Linux

This repository contains a collection of scripts to build a minimal GNU/Linux system. The initrd does not contains any environment you can use to boot a real user space but just a statically linked init program that only prints the string "...Useless..." every 10 seconds. It is only for learning purpose!

Scripts

• build_initrd.sh - build the initrd
• build_initrd_busybox.sh - use this script to generate an initrd with busybox (you get a minimal shell)
• build_kernel.sh - download and compile a working kernel
• run_system.sh - run the build system in qemu
• useless.sh - utility script to automate all the steps
