Hi guys,

I completed LFS and I was able to boot to the operating system. Had some issues configuring the Grub at the end but figured that out.

Finally reached the bash4.4 shell. What to do next ?

How can add more more packages ? Run docker or something ??

I was wondering if anyone could point me to the right direction where I can make a full fledged OS.

Appreciate all your help.

Well, it is according what you want to do with this system.

BLFS provides a lot of instructions to add most of things you may like to add.

You won't install the same things according your purposes, but you can make yourself a desktop or a server. Or pretty much everything you want.

For more packages than BLFS, as you are running LFS, get the wanted sources, compile and install.

Yeah exactly what I thought of !! Thank you so much !! So I will start following BLFS

The first chapter of BLFS will guide you through basic system configuration, for example creating a user for yourself (at the moment you have only the root user) and customising the shell. You should go through the chapter on security too. You will certainly need to install sudo so that you can build packages as yourself but use sudo to install them. Some of the other packages here may be useful too.

For networking, you will need dhcp (I assume you are using a fixed address so far) and, if you have wifi, you will need wpa_supplicant. You will also probably want to install Xorg and decide on what kind of desktop you want.

For the rest, you pick and choose. Each package page tells you what dependencies you need to install first.

Congrats on your booting to a brand spanking new LFS!
When I build a new system, I build to the point you are at, do a quick boot to make sure all is well, next I install Xorg, again boot to LFS check Xork is working OK, then install my desktop of choice, browser, email client and so on.
Personally I build most of the system in chroot but a number of people here prefer to do it in the 'real' system.
A good idea is to note down what you install from BLFS and the order you install it so you're more prepared next time ( yes there will be a next time ).

Moin,

When i build LFS/BLFS i usually do not reboot if done with the LFS book.
Still in chroot env, i build this packages from the BLFS book:
* dhcpcd
* openssh (when installed, add a line: "PermitRootLogin yes" in sshd_config)
* which
* wget
* make-ca

Then after booting the LFS, it's easy to login to the new LFS via ssh from another machine (where there are fancy browsers, etc. already installed) and proceed with building BLFS from there.

Gruss
