Help On Customizing Linux
 
what if instead of creating my own linux distribution, i will get a linux distribution and edit it... is it possible to create a new distruibution from an already existing distribution

Welcome to LQ.org, biscuitboy!

Your question doesn't really have anything to do with LFS, which is a project explaining how to compile a complete linux system from source code, so I don't know why you posted in this forum. But anyway, sure it's possible. That's why you'll find lots of Slackware-based distros, such as College linux and Vector linux; as well as lots of Redhat-based distros like Mandrake (let's see if that starts a flame war).

Enjoy!

Yes, this is exactly what Mandrake did with RedHat, and what Knoppix have done with Debian.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
