Minimal Linux Live (MLL) is a tiny educational Linux distribution, which is designed to be built from scratch by using a collection of automated shell scripts. Minimal Linux Live offers a core environment with just the Linux kernel, GNU C library, and Busybox userland utilities.

(Done) Design and implement proper layer merging in MINCS (Dockerfile actions are ignored in MINCS) https://github.com/mhiramat/mincs
Read the "Linux-Device-Drivers-Development" book https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Linux-Device-Drivers-Development
Close/implement/cleanup the MLL issues here!!!

Question, what is your plan with xv6 in respect to Minimal Linux Live?

ivandavidov commented 5 years ago

MLL and xv6 are two different operating systems. They are incompatible, so I have no plans, except to go through the MIT's tutorial regarding xv6, since I have quite solid experience with x86 ASM.

AwlsomeAlex commented 5 years ago

Ah I understand. Question, would it be possible to build up the xv6 operating system with lets say a C Library and use it as a base of a greater Unix operating system? Or is that impractical? Kinda like a Unix from Scratch in a sense.

ivandavidov commented 5 years ago

You already know the answer. Go on and try it.

AwlsomeAlex commented 5 years ago

Impractical. Gotcha.
