| |
Hi, I would like to ask help in compiling a minimal linux kernel. Basically, it would only contain the kernel andno filesystem (or probably devfs). I would only have to boot the kernel from floppy. Then after the necessary kernel initializations, I would issue a prompt where I can either shutdown or reboot the system. That's the only functionality required. As I've learned from the init program (and startup scripts), the init services and shutdown commands are called from /sbin. However, I do not require to mount the root fs anymore. I also tried to search for the source code of the shutdown program but I can't find it. Please help on the steps that I should do. Thanks in advance. Please CC my email add in the reply. Thanks
