[CentOS-devel] Interest in assisting with the Centos s390 disto

OK, I can install C4 on one of my linux systems. Where do I go from
there?
I have little to no experience with building the packages or the kernel.
I currently have centos 4.5 on my 2 production systems, and on my other
2 I have one with TAO linux and one with a minimal Debian linux.
I have done the typical configure, make, make install and used yum but
I'm not sure how to approach an entire distro build. How do you guys
approach a distrubion build? Is there some order or methodology in
building one?
Thanks,
Ray Hand

Is one of those centos-4 ? thats the best place to start. get a minimal
centos-4 install setup. I can then work with your and get the bootstrap
stuff for centos-5 on there. ( I presume its c5 you are interested in
helping with, since c4 is already there ).

I am not sure what we would achieve with a SIG at this stage, lets say
when there are 10 people contributing to the s390 effort we can move
away from this mailing list to one dedicated to -devel-s390. howse that
?
