Asking LQ for new thread for my own linux distro.
 

Totally Built Linux Distro

Build all of a light linux distro non-stop and no buildfails "with just a few commands" (several end to end).

I think some people would like to "build it all" even if they do not whish to regularly use the result (a "less configured" distro than ubuntu or gentoo). I could be wrong but many source distros are popping up?

I think people should see there "is TBL" which can be tried with very little or 0 failure rate that people with "little experience" can do.

(it's for building linux up to where it can run firefox-bin more than it is "a distro", the distro part is smaller, detatched, and not the goal, it's all upfront no mystery downloads no pacman)

I don't want to "keep advertising" where not allowed, but someone said I should "email Jeremy" and I could not find the email.

I think some distros in the Distributions forum have very few hits and re-distribute RH or UBU bins but configured. That is how I calculate if TBL having enough value being in the list.

Hard to understand why you can't find Jeremy's email...when you can do a simple user search for "Jeremy" (he's the only one), and look at his profile.
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/user/jeremy-1/

...among other places. Nor why you opened a third thread for the exact same thing:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ro-4175719739/
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ub-4175719050/

Or why you can't post this in the correct forum (which would be "LQ Suggestions and Feedback"...another place Jeremy posts frequently).

...or look at one of the numerous pages

From a quick look at Sourceforge, I don't think many, (if any), will be interested, they would be more likely to use LFS; or just do a net install of a (known) distro.

The website needs a doctype.

> Let's agree to disagree. While LFS has a book and fuller configured distro and a 501c team; many have problems building it (they get build fails). I do not know why however.

I feel if a program does it's job from --help, your done, you don't need a book. That it was tested enough it fails little/ever is the document I sought: little.

A used a focus of "being a clean starting point to run ff99-bin: ie not a systemd system" which is a different goal. (my endgame is not the same as others, nor theirs mine). Goal is "can be managed by a single person (n.i. their added endgame)".

As far as "not being established? Well. That is not a fact.

I do not unlike LFS I like it. However xlfs existed before they had build releases for building (ie not the book). That explains why I did not fall into it's sphere.

> LFS does not have a net install neither does Ubuntu. Unless you can say all consumers have options allowing realtime kernel replacement without reboot on real hardware (but that kernel feature is disabled by default for good reasons).

Also - TBLD was designed to be 100% upfront NO mystery downloads nothing unsourced. And it is.
