Minimal i386 Linux distro for Wanix/v86

Prerequisites

• make
• Docker (build on any platform)
• QEMU (for testing)
• python3 (for http)

Building

make distro

This uses Docker to produce a kernel and initramfs in ./output which together should be about 3MB. Would love to make this even smaller.

Testing with QEMU

make qemu

This will run QEMU using the files in ./output.

Testing with v86

First build v86 files. This only needs to be done once:

make v86

Now start an HTTP server. This make task uses python3:

make serve

Now browse to http://localhost:8000.

Source

• Kernel config is in kernel.config
• Kernel and busybox are built in Dockerfile
• Init script is defined in init
