>>>Hi,>>>>>>This is not my area, but let´s go. :)>>>>>>I am taking my final college work, and it is to take an existing linux distibution, modify it to make it turn into a Real Time Embedded Linux, with no more thatn 50k of size to run on a NIOS embedded processor (executed on a FPGA board).>>>>>>Can anybody help me? Any help is welcome, specialy about how to make modifications and cut stuff of from the existing linux distribution.>>>>>>TIA>>>>>>No problem!>>>>Put "floppy linux distro" into the Google search box and you will find 14,000+ references to small versions of Linux.>>>>>>Do the same with "real time linux distro" and you will find about 20,000+ references to that topic.>>>>I downloaded and played around with tomsbrt, the single floppy distro.>>>>Good luck.>>JLK>>Thanks, Jerry.>>But a single flpppy distro is too much in my case. I am closer to single byte distro. :)>>I am going to take a look at BlueCat and mCLinux. Do you know anything about 'em?

Only the occasional reading. No experience coding the kernel. I do have "Linux Core Kernel", by Scott Maxwell, published by CoriolisOpen Press. It gives an in depth code annotation of the kernel, with appendix A convering the 2.4 kernel.
