I know this question is a little off-topic and with a broad scope.
And I am not interested in set up a new distro.
The fact is: I really want to know and perhaps be able to setup a ultra-mini-distro just to tell myself: I did it.
I guess that thousands of people would enjoy that.
I read Linux From Scratch but that is not a distro build guide.
What is a distro?
I could define a distro as a bootable media (using ISOLINUX perhaps) which boot a linux kernel configured to run a installer, which in turns runs several steps from partitioning disks and coping files (packages) to initial config (video, networking, etc).
So, what do I need to know (and where could I find that information) to set up such thing?
Do I need to be a kernel master?
Is there any site trying to solve the great mysteries of life such: How does a distro born? or How does a kernel born?
In the way, I am looking for good literature about kernels and operating systems.
