Booting a custom kernel in a new file system

I dropped a mail in ext3-user list ..but no response from them.
How to build a new root file system?: msg#00004 ext3-users

Hi Bro,
At last I finished the chapter 5 and now I am doing the chapter 6 of LFS. Why there is no separate sub-section for LFS here like they have in linuxquestions.org? In my opinion, LFS is a worthy topic to have a separate sub-section and the beginners like me will benefit from it. It is just a thought, no offense meant.

glad to hear that. Just today I got few replies for the same question
Re:How to create a new root file system? - Linux Forums

Seems like busybox will help to install more easily,but clearly with LFS you will learn a lot.

Even I hope to catch up with you,in LFS. I'm looking for holidays to work on LFS ..
As I mention in other thread , LFS will help to build your own distro and appliances..that will be real fun and challenging task

Yes,I think that's a good suggestion,If more people started posting question about LFS..then we should have separate section for LFS too.

All the best

Hi Bro,
Finally I completed LFS and booted into the new system ! I thank you for all the help you provieded. But the story does not end here. Earlier I was not aware of the actual size of the Linux system which was expected from me. Now I came to know that for embedded systems, we need about 16 to 20 MB system. Do you have any suggested readings?

Hey Congrats !! That's really a great achievement for your hard work and persistence
I hope In future,I can get your help in while I create my LFS

What's your current disk size?How much your LFS occupies now?

below link might help you,they mention's its embedded,but i'm not sure:
Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch - Embedded

My kernel size is 3.4 MB and the size of the total LFS filesystem is about 600 MB.
I have enough free space in the computer(about 60 GB). But I have to develop a system whose total size should be about 16 MB and not 600 MB

The following thread helped me a lot in the last stages of doing LFS :
LFS- Adjusting the Toolchain problem - LinuxQuestions.org

Now it seems that this thread will die out because the goal of booting a custom kernel in a new root file system has been achieved thanks to you.

What is your id?

Now I am working to make the Linux system small and I know that I will face problems there also. Soon I will come up with a new thread in this forums.
