A great many have existed over the years. Some still exist, some have morphed into something else, yet others have been relegated to our memories. They all do things differently to suit the needs of their target audience. Because so many different ways to accomplish the same end goal exist, I began to realize I no longer had to be limited by any one implementation. Prior to discovering Linux, we simply put up with issues in other Operating Systems as you had no choice. It was what it was, whether you liked it or not. With Linux, the concept of choice began to emerge. If you didn't like something, you were free, even encouraged, to change it. I tried a number of distributions and could not decide on any one. They were great systems in their own right. It wasn't a matter of right and wrong anymore. It had be- come a matter of personal taste. With all that choice available, it became apparent that there would not be a single system that would be perfect for me. So I set out to create my own Linux system that would fully conform to my personal preferences. To truly make it my own system, I resolved to compile everything from source code instead of using pre-compiled binary packages. This “perfect” Linux system would have the strengths of various systems without their perceived weaknesses. Requirements :- • Bash-2.05a (/bin/sh should be a symbolic or hard link to bash) • Binutils-2.12 (Versions greater than 2.20 are not recommended ) • Bison-1.875 (/usr/bin/yacc should be a link to bison or small script that executes bison) • Bzip2-1.0.2 • Coreutils-5.0 (or Sh-Utils-2.0, Textutils-2.0, and Fileutils-4.1) • Diffutils-2.8 • Findutils-4.1.20 • Gawk-3.0 (/usr/bin/awk should be a link to gawk) • Gcc-3.0.1 (Versions greater than 4.4.3 are not recommended ) • Glibc-2.2.5 (Versions greater than 2.11.1 are not recommended) • Grep-2.5 • Gzip-1.2.4 • Linux Kernel-2.6.18 (having been compiled with GCC-3.0 or greater) 3 To check above requirements :- #!/bin/bash export LC_ALL=C # Simple script to list version numbers of critical development tools bash --version | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f2-4 echo "/bin/sh -> `readlink -f /bin/sh`" echo -n "Binutils: "; ld --version | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f3- bison --version | head -n1 if [ -e /usr/bin/yacc ]; then echo "/usr/bin/yacc -> `readlink -f /usr/bin/yacc`"; else echo "yacc not found"; fi bzip2 --version 2>&1 < /dev/null | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f1,6- echo -n "Coreutils: "; chown --version | head -n1 | cut -d")" -f2 diff --version | head -n1 find --version | head -n1 gawk --version | head -n1 if [ -e /usr/bin/awk ]; then echo "/usr/bin/awk -> `readlink -f /usr/bin/awk`"; else echo "awk not found"; fi gcc --version | head -n1 /lib/libc.so.6 | head -n1 | cut -d"," -f1 grep --version | head -n1 gzip --version | head -n1 cat /proc/version m4 --version | head -n1 make --version | head -n1 patch --version | head -n1 echo Perl `perl -V:version` sed --version | head -n1 tar --version | head -n1 echo "Texinfo: `makeinfo --version | head -n1`" echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c && gcc -o dummy dummy.c if [ -x dummy ]; then echo "Compilation OK"; else echo "Compilation failed"; fi rm -f dummy.c dummy 4 SETUP.sh #!/bin/bash export HOME=/etc/skel ./Apply_Gconf_Setting.sh ./"Apply Theme Changes.sh" ############################################ ./Modify_SourceList.sh apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys AC1F27D74EA7974E apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A8A515F046D7E7CF apt-get update ./Add_Remove_Packages.sh ##
