Hi.
I seems to me that in order to replace something, say "a", with something else, say "b", one should lknow a lot about how "a" works. There is a path set up to help with the current goal,
For this situation, something like the chapter in LFS book http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/vi ... e/x/x.html would be a good start. Of course, one probably would need to get through the base part of LFS first before going through BFLS.
Just getting though LFS is clearly a big task, but it should be a good learning experience for anyone who aspires to address a similarly large task such as asked by the OP.
Good luck ... cheers, drl

Others have done something similar to what you want to do already. Maybe you'd like to join forces with them instead of reinventing the wheel?

No. The guy is asking how to turn Linux into Unix. Why? FreeBSD is a very nice user-friendly distro that starts in console. Once it has configured it looks pretty much like OS X with KDE.drl wrote:Just getting though LFS is clearly a big task, but it should be a good learning experience for anyone who aspires to address a similarly large task such as asked by the OP.
