How Linux gets installed

Anonymous — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 04:37:12 -0400

Hi,

Suppose I get a Kernel source code and try to compile it on Linux which is not having gcc compiler then it will not get compiled for sure b'coz kernel needs gcc for compilation. My question is then how a Linux gets installed on raw hard disk which in not having gcc pre-installed. I also believe gcc can't be installed on raw hard disk (not sure and never tried). So, it is also not the case that Linux installs gcc first and then do the rest later.

Can any one explain how the thing works from lower level point of view.

Source based Linux distribution or build system allow all cutting edge package. (not Linux From Scratch) ?

Do any body know Source based Linux distribution or build system that allow to use package build directly from checkout of project's repository, except Linux from Scratch.

Gentoo is also providing package kept in mirror, not directly from project repository.
