[LI] Bare Bones Linux

[skhader@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hello Folks,
On my system I would like to install Linux manually.
I mean just get some tar balls, manually creating the
filesystem. Then installing the necessary files, then
adding the kernel, then installing the x-server, the web server
the development utilities, ftp server, telnet server.
I don't want to use an rpm or dpkg or pkgtool and
get some prepackaged binary files. I want to get
the source files and do it all myself. Can anyone help
me out here by giving some directions as to how I can
proceed or any link would also be appreciated. I just want
this to be something like a distro-free Linux. ;-) and of
course that means full power for me. ;-)

Any comments, suggestions/advice as to how I can proceed
would be appreciated.
TIA

Regards
               Khader
