I also wanted to experiment with Linux at a young age, and so I tried booting it with LOADLIN[1]. I didn't know what I was doing, but I did successfully boot the kernel with a minimal rootfs! So minimal, it didn't have an init — which of course causes a quick kernel panic. Didn't yet have the know how to figure out what I was doing wrong. My mom asked "did you mess up the computer?" Nope, since with LOADLIN you didn't need to format. Had to give up on that approach, but discovered Knoppix shortly afterwards, and that taught me Linux. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loadlin |
