Developing a simple Linux Distro from scratch using Busybox

Greetings, and welcome to my blog. Today, I will discuss how to create a simple Linux distribution using BusyBox . This can be done on any system, whether it is Windows, macOS, or Linux. For Windows, you need WSL, a Docker (Ubuntu) container, or a VM with a Linux distribution installed (Ubuntu or its derivatives are recommended). First, install the prerequisites: Note : If you are using a container, ensure you run it in privileged mode. Bash sudo apt install bc cpio bison libssl-dev libncurses-dev libelf-dev bzip2 make sudo apt install automake autoconf git syslinux dosfstools xz-utils build-essential gcc wget Once you have these dependencies installed, start by creating a directory named distro : Bash sudo mkdir /distro cd /distro After creating and changing the directory, obtain the Linux Kernel, either from git or wget: Note : If you use git, you might clone the beta or release candidate version of the kernel. Bash sudo git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/torvalds/linux OR...
