the process of creating a Linux Distribution

[thunderso0o]

I'm learning about the process of creating a Linux Distribution. My teacher said that I need to show him how to built Linux Distro from Linux kernel - only basic level not details.
I read the Linux From Scratch project. They write in details but I only need a general level to write a document. And I don't know where to begin. Can someone give me a point to start please?

The short answer ? D/L the source code for Redhat (or pick a distro), text edit everything to replace "redhat" with "yourdistro", recompile, bingo you're done.

The long answer? At the risk of VASTLY oversimplifying the concept of OS design (*nix or otherwise) it really boils down to three steps:

1. Pick a kernel. The big question is, microkernel or monolithic ? Then pick the latest version of either.

2 Add utilities to the kernel - all the things that make the kernel accesible to userland . Editors, compilers, etc.

3. Pick a GUI, or "desktop environment". Gnome, KDE, CDE, whatever. This is the "eye candy" that will sell your distro even though there's nothing you can do with the GUI that you can't do with a text command - only REAL difference is that it's sometimes easier to do something by picking a menu item from a dropdown list than it is to remember the exact syntax for the 256-character long text string that you'd need to accomplish the same thing at the CLI.
