Check out the

/usr/doc/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO 

It should be a good enough starting point, giving you a overview of how things
work in linux,  the MINIMAL filesystem etc.

Also "ldd" is a good tool to identify the libraries needed by a application.
WHich may be required when deciding what and all you need to have.
