Building Linux from scratch, well.....sort of.
Just a quick question/opinion.
I'm looking to build my own linux distro...well sort of. Here is what I want to do. I currently have Slackware 9.1 installed on my laptop, once I have it trimmed down to just the packages I want and my software installed, I'd like to make an image sort of. Basically take that OS and burn it onto a CD(s) so I could take it to another machine or if I flatline my laptop i could just install these CDs and my system with just the right packages that I want, none of that other crap that gets installed.
I want to do the same with my snort sensors, so basically i can take a box, put these cds in and viola....a snort sensor.
my question is this. Would it be better to use something like LFS or would it just be easier to use an imaging application, like norton ghost (not sure if that supports ext2fs, but you get my drift.)
I'm complete n00b when it comes to something like this....i figured i'd ask the pros
