The Pocket Linux Guide is for anyone interested in
learning the techniques of building a GNU/Linux system
from source code. The guide is structured as a project
that builds a small diskette-based GNU/Linux system
called Pocket Linux. Each chapter explores a small piece
of the overall system explaining how it works, why it is
needed and how to build it. After completing the Pocket
Linux project, readers should possess an enhanced
knowledge of what makes GNU/Linux systems work as well as
the confidence to explore larger, more complex
source-code-only projects.
