pansy linux

this is a linux distribution made fully from scratch - that is, we're writing everything other than the kernel itself by hand.

we're hanging out on #homegrown at irc.tilde.chat - come say hi!

running / building

before building, you'll need to manually supply those two files:

  • deps/vmlinuz - the kernel, you'll probably find one in /boot
  • deps/e1000.ko - the ethernet driver, look for it in /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/

then you can just run make boot to get dropped into QEMU. you can press C-a x to exit the vm. you can login as the root user - root:password
