Pretty much any - as long as all the development tools specified in LFS book are in repositories it doesn't matter which distro you use.

Actually I just remembered something - see paragraph 2.3 of LFS book and test your e2fsprogs with 'debugfs -R feature /dev/<xxx>'. On *buntu it was a real bitch getting rid of 'ext_attr' while I had no problems on Debian. Don't know about Mandriva though.

The LFS live-cd is probably the best to begin with, because it contains everything you need (including the book) - just download, burn and start. The cd I/O speed might have some effect on the speed of the build process (I'm not sure, but I wouldn't wonder if it had), but it's not something you should worry about, not the first time at least. And if you feel it's a problem, you probably don't have trouble setting up a host of another distribution

Second that and accutally the SBU on the live CD was about 30 to 45 seconds faster than a build using a Debian host. But all and all any host will work.

Using "best linux for build LFS" is asking for trouble.
It is very difficult not to be depending on some of the
files from "the best linux".

This is the number one reason for using the live CD, as
already said by b0uncer and emclinux.

Regards

It will run, but you will build a 32-bit system. This is fine as long as you want a 32-bit system, and for personal computers (desktops and laptops) there are still some reasons for using 32-bit rather than 64 (or a "mixed" 32 and 64).

You might want to consider using CLFS for your x86_64 machine (and do the multilib to be standards compliant). You can get a LiveCD with all the tarballs and the CLFS book for the previous stable version (1.0.0) from here. Otherwise you can use the LFS LiveCD, but you'll need to download any additional tarballs and patches needed for the x86_64 build and the CLFS book. At least you used to have to.

Hello b0uncer. I would like to give lfs a go but I'm pretty new to linux as a whole and do not know where to look for the liv-cd and this book you talked about. I would love some guidance as to where to find this book and cd image.

Is the book a pdf or a physical book?

Thank you :-)

Britt
