The goal of this work is to build your own Linux in a VM with the Gentoo Distribution
The major part of this work is related to the Gentoo Handbook (AMD64)
- Download VMware Workstation
- Download Gentoo distribution > Downloads > amd64 > minimal installation cd & stage3 systemd
Launch VMware Workstation and create a new VM
- Select 'custom' > Workstation > Install later > Select 'Linux 6.x kernel 64 bit'
- Put a name to your VM
- Select 2 processors (1 core per processor)
- 4GB for RAM
- Use NAT
- LSI Logic
- SCSI
- Create a new virtual disk and split into multiple files
- Click on 'customize hardware' > New CD/DVD > Use ISO > Select
minimal installation cdand checkconnect at power on - Create the VM
Now, we have to put the VM on UEFI instead of BIOS : VM (toolbar) > Settings > Option > Advanced > UEFI
You're ready to launch the VM !
Follow the instructions.md file to start the tutorial with a setup for gentoo (gentoo will serve as a basis to have a minimal environment in order to build our own OS from sources).
When instructions.md is ok, you can follow mykernel.md to start creating the OS
