Road Map

Since I want to learn how to use Linux as an embedded system tool, I will attempt to create a small Hello World project. Here is my roadmap. The order may vary.

1. Prepare my cross compiler toolchain
2. Compile a kernel
3. Compile GRUB with network support
   
4. Install GRUB onto a USB stick
   
5. Set up my laptop to serve the kernel over tftp and serve a net filesystem to be the root filesystem
6. Setup CVS
   
7. Prepare Eclipse to compile with the toolchain for my Hello World project
   
8. Write a program that writes "Hello World" to the screen
   
9. Plug the USB stick into Elena's computer, restart it, and see "Hello World" on the screen
   

Looks simple enough, eh? Especially that last step.
