Am I right about this?

Hi,
I wonder just if I am right about this.. So well Ill just ask now.
If I have a HD that I have formatted into ext2.
I installed a Bootloader in its MBR.
And I make the folders on that partition with the files in there I have installed Linux by hand right?

So, Basically I can compile my System on Compile PC and then copy the folders and strip what I don't really need?
I ask this since I need to build a as small as possible Linux with x11 and amsn.
And well if I install a normal Distro I can stuff I really cant use since I have to keep this under the 20 MB..
I wonder if I can do that. So well.. My Question is.
If I use Super Grub Disk Webpage: Home Page to install Grub
and Parted Magic to Partion it.
And a LiveCD to copy my Pre-Compiled files(I compiled them with a Cross Compiler on another system. I Compiled it on a amd64 and I compiled it for a PPC) in the right folders.
And then I reboot my PC.
It should work right?

Edit: Crap, I just thought of Bootscripts. Whats the deal with that? So what link am I missing? Or am I missing nothing?

By the time you have the kernel, modules, X11 and all of its dependencies I would think you will be over 20MB... 20MB might be a little over ambitious. I know there is a smaller X server called kdrive which could be useful to you.

Yea, and I already got a Small kernel.
It doesnt support much but ok
Thanks for kdrive Ill look into it.
And well the 20MB is since I have a 50MB HD Spare. 10MB SWAP.
30 left. I learned always keep some space free.
So I am aiming at 20 megs
