There is the our SELF (Simple Embedded Linux Framework) package at ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/SELF , and there is the SELF RPM in our ELDK which is where the tarball you're using comes from. You can download the build script (especially the SELF.spec file) from our CVS server. > In the mean time I will keep dogging for information. There is more projects of "Linux on a flopy disk" than I can name here. They all can be used as a starting point.
