Toy linux distro (formerly bungalow linux)

Screenshot

Requirements

• tar2sqfs
• cpio (for Initramfs)
• QEMU (testing only)

How to build

• First you need to build the bzImage/Image.gz of the Linux kernel and a statically linked busybox.
• Linux kernel needs to support overlayfs (Required only if you want to use the repo's initramfs to boot Xenon)
• Then in the repository create a dir named bins
• Then do:

mv path/to/kernel ./bins/linux_kernel
mv path/to/busybox ./bins/busybox
# Build:
./irf_sfs_maker.sh

Running

./run

Initramfs and OS squashfs

• Initramfs: This repo includes an initramfs that boots the Xenon sfs on memory, it expects the Xenon sfs to stay on /dev/sda, however this is only for testing and not needed for Xenon. It requires the Linux kernel to support overlayfs
• Xenon sfs: This is the actual operating system image. The init script is located at /init in the sfs, and you can create ur own initramfs to boot it
