I am not good at English,thanks you!
LFS isn't designed to be used by newbies. You really do need to have a certain amount of experience to understand the instructions. I would say the minimum is:
1) Be reasonably at home with using the shell on the command line.
2) Be familiar with the directory structure of Linux and understand the commands used for managing files such as rm, cp and ln.
3) Be reasonably familiar with very basic programs like grep and sed, at least knowing what they do.
4) Understand the basic way that Linux packages are built.
Until you know at least this, you won't get the full LFS experience. Thrashing around and getting nowhere just isn't fun.
In my experience a common cause of trouble is rushing through chapter 4. All that stuff about environmental variables feels boring and people are in a hurry to get on to the actual build part. But if your environment ain't right, nothing will go right for you.
There was an old spam post in it (reported and gone now) - I'm guessing there was also a recent spam post which caused the thread to be bumped. (Afaik, thread dates don't get reset when a post is deleted.)
Get an forum op to change its title to "why noobs fail at LFS building".
For the record Hazel is totally correct and I'mm seeing an uptick in the last year of really clueless user attempts.
Very nerve wracking to assist them here and irc support.
