linux-micro-distro

This is a minimal example of a working Linux distribution, aka "micro distribution". It has two flavors:

1. hello_world: Useless init, just prints something to the console.
2. little_shell: A slightly less useless init. It spawns another process which handles user input and output.

You can make the initramfs.cpio from both of these directories (make sure to override the make flag for cross compile to match your platform).
