You can start another distribution as a separate project, sure.  Here on this 
list Vladimir Dronnikov has dvv and Christian Micon has detaolb, and there are 
plenty of others who just don't usually post about it here.  (My own firmware 
Linux project is _not_ growing to become a distro, thank you very much.  It 
has boundaries.)  Some of them (like Puppy Linux) grow and prosper.  The 
largest and longest lasting "one guy does this" distro is probably slackware.

There are also collaborative projects.  The uClibc developers spawned 
buildroot, and bits of that are used in openwrt, uclinux, and a bunch of 
others.  Independent lines of development for the embedded world include 
gentoo embedded, and emdebian, and the ubuntu "mobile and embedded" project 
(although jeos is probably a better starting point), and even Fedora for Arm 
(strange but true).

Here's a fun list of once interesting embedded linux open source distro 
projects, 80% of which have gone the way of the dodo:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" \
href="http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT4525882120.html">http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT4525882120.html</a>

If what you want is an informational resource, Linux From Scratch might be a 
better starting point.  Before that, there was the "power up to bash prompt 
howto" and "linux boot disk howto".

Why don't you try the buildroot list?

Rob
