6 What exactly do you expect from "your own linux distribution"?
7 Some special functionality you are missing? Some speciall
8 installer, interface, packages?

10 Frankly, I have never done something like that, but I think
11 making your own linux-distro is "a little" more then just
12 "pack&burn your favourite packages". To code a good installer
13 is not trivial task. Maybe that's why almost every distro uses
14 its own installer...

16 Anyway I think you should first summarise your requirements.
17 Maybe it would be easier to start with some already done
18 distro, and just modify it according to your needs (that's
19 the way some linux-distribution originated from debian,
20 or ubuntu).

22 Well, good luck with this task! You will sure need it... :-)
