Hello,no question is stupid, first of all, which flavour of linux are you using? with program linux, do you mean compile the whole operating system? or you just need to add new programs? Thanks. Amarok. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

For the time being we do not have a full tutorial about making your own Linux distro, but you can have a look at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org which is quite simple to follow :-) hope this helps.
