I'm trying to simplify the live-bootstrap project by either removing dependencies, reducing build time or making it more unattended (by automating the image creation steps, for example).
https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/
Other efforts around the same problem are trying to make it more architecture independent or improve regenerations (re-building things like automake during the process).
It's free and open source, you're welcome to fork it and try your best with the aid of Claude. All you need is an x86 or x86-64 machine or qemu.
The project and other related repositories are already full of documentation in the markdown format and high quality commented code.
Here's a friendly primer on the problem:

If you decide to help, please ask the maintainers if AI use is allowed beforehand. I'm OK with it, they might not be.
