anyway, there's actually a tool to create a system from scratch on Bee
it's called BeeBS (Bee Build Script). It is intended to compile a Hurd
system from scratch, and targeted to create a cross compiler (that you can
use later) to crosscompile a base system and some basic tools, and
performing a final (optional) pass that installs the Bee bootup scripts
so yes, you can create a system from scratch, and the script is "easy" to
read and understand which steps it performs... (well, at least if you know
it ;)) and easily extendable (or at least this was one of its first ideas)
so, well, here it is:
http://bee.es.gnu.org/
sorry, but the page is in spanish (if I recall well, an english translation
is underway), but if you want something, just tell me :)
apa!
