Abstract
Two years ago on FOSDEM'17 a minimalistic bootstrap was a dream; today it has started to become reality. Bootstrapping GNU/Linux without use of the GNU toolchain (gcc, binutils, glibc) was our first milestone that we just reached. Mes became a GNU project. We will talk about what bootstrapping is and why it is important. We will show how Mes' minimalistic Scheme has made this possible and on future milestones (Scheme only bootstrap, other GNU/Linux distributions) before reaching the holy grail: a full source bootstrap.
