anyway, there's actually a tool to create a system from scratch on Bee it's called BeeBS (Bee Build Script). It is intended to compile a Hurd system from scratch, and targeted to create a cross compiler (that you can use later) to crosscompile a base system and some basic tools, and performing a final (optional) pass that installs the Bee bootup scripts so yes, you can create a system from scratch, and the script is "easy" to read and understand which steps it performs... (well, at least if you know it ;)) and easily extendable (or at least this was one of its first ideas) so, well, here it is: http://bee.es.gnu.org/ sorry, but the page is in spanish (if I recall well, an english translation is underway), but if you want something, just tell me :) apa! -- "And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer." -- The Princess of Pure Reason, as told by Norton Juster in The Phantom Tollbooth Listening: Nevermore (Dreaming Neon Black) - 09.
