AH.. FORGOT ABOUT MINIX! I did read about Mr. Trovald's story and forgot about that piece. lost marks in linux history... :(

and how did the guy crated minix? where is that very core bootdisk?
shouldn't linuxfromscratch begin from that very first bootdisk? :)

I think he meant, how do you create an OS when you have nothing.  Using
Knoppix is kinda cheating, cause you're using the OS to create the OS.
Linus didn't have Linux to self-host his original kernel.
right.. but he had minix.. which is where linux came from if Im not mistaken.. NOT that he took minix and hacked it into linux, but that he created linux ON minux..
