LFS style Debian HOWTO


pro: i686-based debian!
con: no more apt, aptitude, but you can use paco( http://paco.sourceforge.net/ )

i succeed it, and happy, i have been using it.

you have to read/need
1. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/
2. http://freshmeat.net/projects/recoveryispossible/ (==RIP)

NOTE: i have no responsibility for doing this! But you are the best helper for yourself. Don't do this IF you DON'T know what you are doing


Code:
1. install minimal debian base system
2. install wget, elinks
3. install Build-essential
4. install gcc into /usr/local through source-compile
5. so do glibc, binutils, gcc, and lfs base components into /usr/local
6. familiarize yourself with kernel compile.
7. install/burn RIP into CD/USB or floppy
8. export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
9. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
10. kernel-compile using newer gcc
11. boot using RIP, change the symbolic links ld-linux.so.2 to newer glibc
12. reboot the HDD boot
13. 2/3 utilities will complain like this: " .. while loading *.so.*: no such.."
14. source compile and install glibc, binutils, gcc again into /usr.
15. reboot, and now almost everything should be fine.
16. now you got i686-based linux system.
17. source compile and install Xorg(host.def: #define HasFreetype2 NO), garnome.
18. Done, Enjoy your non-debian linux system. ;)
and one more cheap trick
Code:
normally, upgrading latest glibc into /usr is very dangerous, 
and system make totally unusable(every command segmentation fault), 
but, then reboot with RIP, 
change symlink to newer glibc shared libraries in the /lib/tls , 
it save the system again.
