Hello. My name is Bill, and I have been around computers a long time. I cut my teeth on PC's when I loaded the OS for a TI 980 "PC" with paper tape from an ARS 33 teletype back in the early 70's.

I have been attempting to learn linux for a couple of years. Unfortunately, the "little grey cells" (I believe that is a quote from Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot) don't work as well as they once did. But I have made SOME limited progress.

I have been working on the Linux From Scratch version 7.10. I've gone through the first 50 or so pages. Not unexpectedly, I have run across some problems.

If you have some expertise in LFS, then maybe I'll see you there!

Best regards,
Bill

Howdy and Welcome. I had no nada previous computer experience to cloud up my mind
and jumped into using linux as my 1st operating system.

I don't do linux from scratch. But I know of a few sites that do.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pinkrabbitlinux/

There might be something in the links of my signature also.

Good luck with it.

Hi Bill, welcome to the forum. Hope you're able to get the issues you're having resolved.

Thanks for the welcome. And thanks for the references. I especially like the Ultimate Newbie Guide. I'm sure that I'll some some time there soon.

And Ardvark71: I can see that we have similar views about the "non-linux" issues.

Best regards to all and God bless,
Bill

Praise God for that!

Thanks, and may God bless you.

Hi Bill and welcome to LQ!

Greetings Bill.

Thanks for all your replies.

I am making slow progress with Linux From Scratch (LFS). I am learning a lot of Linux from going through this exercise. And some of it is even sinking through this "old dog" mind!

Thanks for the welcoming messages.

Bill
