The instructions are for building your own distro. They will work, with minor adaptations, from nearly any existing distro, and will produce something which is independent of that distro. If you are interested in a more complete guide, you should look at Linux From Scratch. If you are interested in a customized distro but with real support, you might consider building a Debian variant instead. -dsr-
