Nimbu

A minimal linux distro from scratch. Compiled by a single script. Built with the latest (stable) linux kernal, busybox for the userspace and Nano X11 for a Graphics backend.

Also ships with QuickJS (js interpreter), cosmopolitan c (cross platform c compiler), a copy conways game of life and the source for a copy of chess (distro specific fork) you have to compile your self.

Building

Make the build script executable

chmod +x build.sh

• Run the script, to build everything.

  # Everything
  ./build.sh

• If you want to build seprate parts then:

  # Keranl Only
  ./build.sh kernal
  # Busybox Only
  ./build.sh busybox
    # Graphical Enviornment Only
  ./build.sh gui
  # Image Only
  ./build.sh image

• To build the iso, make sure you have compiled everything and made an image (so the required files has been made). Then run:

  ./build.sh iso
