Hello The base Linux system (bls) distribution V0.4 is available on http://bls.sf.net .
This base Linux system (bls) distribution is a tar ball image of a configured, functional, running Linux system that's ready to load-and-go onto a bare-metal box. Once loaded, configuring your networking environment is about all that needs to be done. Use bls as is or as a base for building Linux systems. The bls distribution is network centric. Add or remove rpm packages to fit your needs. Download the config file and compile a kernel the way you want it. Creating new Linux systems starts with downloading the bls tar ball image and then installing it onto bare- metal boxes using tomsrtbt. Selecting a set of runtime kernel parameters determines if the bls distribution becomes a workstation, server, firewall, or router. Systems built using the bls distribution may be run using a regular console, a serial console, or totally headless. A Linux laptop running minicom makes an excellent serial console for plugging into headless routers and other Linux appliances created using bls. Speaking of laptops, the bls distribution has the right stuff for building Linux laptops from bare metal. A ready to run Linux system is ready for use in about 10 minutes. The base for bls distribution is the Red Hat 7.3 distribution: Base Linux System release 4 - Mon Jun 3 14:04:00 PDT 2002 Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla) Kernel 2.4.18-4custom-bls-i486-4 on an i586 I hope you enjoy using the bls distribution as much as I enjoy producing it.
