creating distro when done
 

Hi everybody,

i'm almost finished with my lfs 5.0, i was wondering if there's a howto on how to create a distribution out of it on a cd with some kind of self-made installer?

Yea... It can be done... Theres been some discussion about this many times. I hacked a Gentoo live cd and threw my lfs.tgz on it.... :-) Just mount a new partition, cd into it and extract..... Just have to change fstab, menu.lst and reinstall grub... Pretty painless.....

Yeah, but wont the version be built for another machine?

Are not the live CD's generally built to be run on a wide variety of systems?? And LFS is made specifically for your system and hardware setup. Im sure you could run it on another system with some changes but it would most likely run slower.

If you want to make a easy way to create more system with LFS, putting all the source tarballs on a single cd along with some from blfs that you might want to add later would cut down on preperation. And somewhere in the book it says something bout leaveing the /tools directory intact if you want to build other LFS systems... so I guess if you copy that as soon as you get done making it you would not have to redo it again for another system???
