f0xmulder/tldrlfs — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a very short, practical Linux From Scratch style guide for people who want the bare minimum working system without reading a giant book.

I want this repo to feel like a stripped down handbook that starts from an already running Linux machine or VM and walks someone through preparing a target disk, building and installing the kernel, setting up a PID 1 init, adding a shell, installing a bootloader, and getting a small set of core utilities in place so the system can actually boot and be usable.

Keep the writing direct and beginner friendly, but assume the reader is comfortable copying terminal commands. Explain just enough so they do not get lost, then move on. The whole point is fewer commands, less fluff, and a minimal but working OS. Organize it clearly in the existing sections and make the main README connect everything in the right order.

If anything is unclear, look up current docs online, but keep the final result concise and readable.
