I've got a basic understanding of how things startup. Use of init or
/linuxrc and shell scripts, etc. I don't have the binaries and want to
be able to compile the binaries from the sources.
I need to know what packages I NEED and where to find the sources for
them. RedHat and Debian supply all the sources for the releases. I
have been to the LinuxPPC mirror and also found RPM sources. I am
currently looking at these these packages are put together by the
vendors and they must get the sources from somewhere else. eg. where is
the orignal site for "mount" ? I prefer to use a tarball than some
proprietry distribution package.
Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
