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?

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.
