Getting linux to run on new hardware, help please.

Post by cvill.. » Wed, 17 May 2000 04:00:00



Hello all,
  I have a motorola 68ez328 board that I'm trying to get linux to run
on.  I bought the uclinux distribution for the 68ez328.  My problem is
that the distribution compiles in a lot of things I don't need, like
networking, etc.  I just want a minimum set of linux to run on the
board, like tasks, memory management, and the serial port.  Can anyone
get me started on how to stip out the stuff I don't need, or how
to "port" the linux to my board.  I have searched the web for anything
on porting linux to no avail.

Thanks in advance,
  Chris

Recompile your kernel; look for Kernel-HOWTO at http://www.linuxdoc.org/

This may help.
