LFS by a newbie, part deux progress report...

Posted 01-07-2007 at 05:05 AM by threekgtvr4

Well, since my last post on building <a href="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/">LFS 6.2</a>, I've completed chapter 5 with no further problems and moved on to chapter 6. I should have finished with the LFS build in 8 days, but it's taking me some extra time because I am using the <a href="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/more_control_and_pkg_man.txt">More Control and Package Management Using Package Users</a> hint. The reason it's...

Linux From Scratch by a newbie, part deux...

Posted 12-30-2006 at 03:29 AM by threekgtvr4

The live CD comes with everything you need to build your LFS system, including the book which you need to follow in order to build it and all packages and patches necessary. A live CD also gives you the ability to use a completely blank hard drive for your installation and I don't think you can actually screw up a live CD like you can an installed distribution (someone...

LFS (Linux From Scratch) for people new to Linux

Posted 05-01-2006 at 12:53 AM by threekgtvr4

Here is my first blog on this forum. Since I have been enjoying this site since I found it, I figured "might as well"... This blog will show the fun and headaches in building a Linux From Scratch (LFS) system from the eyes of someone who is VERY new to Linux.

Since this blog is being written as I learn, the "teachings" may jump around from time to time. Eventually this "tutorial" will be posted to the Do It Yourself portion of my site, and will be more...
