| LFS is a bit outdated, what about Tiny Core Linux? |

| That would be cheating though wouldn't it ;) What I believe you can do is make a persistent pendrive, modify it, then image it. Then distribute the image which can then be installed on the system by running tc-install. |

| I will use CorePlus, because I am limited to a wireless network. |

| Mabye, QEMU is slower but can write to .img and such, I also suggested it because it is free. |

| CorePlus then cut it down by removing what you don't need, removing is always easier than installing. |

| When is Scripters going to realize a custom 'Scripters OS' is never going to be viable? There's absolutely no benefit of giving up whatever OS (or even distro) people are using right now just to use a "Special Scripters distro" which is going to be abandoned in a week. |

| Your right, giving up a whole gigabyte of your hard drive space and a slot on your boot menu is so costly when the scripter themself could help develop the distro. |

@Scarfacial The project objective is making a less than 0.5GB distro that looks good, fast, and that has coding utils. Chubbs, if I am wrong please correct me. |

| I could help if you guys like, I always use Linux and have a strong understanding of C/C++ and a "fair" understanding of Assembly. |
