What is a good Live CD for LFS?

moisespedro · 08-28-2014, 07:09 PM

I always used Slackware as host so I don't know what would be a good live-cd system to build LFS. Is Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits ok for this?

SalixOS Live 13.37 works good, but do be prepared to hastily one-shot build Chapter 5 in one shot with a Live disk or it could screw up permissions.

I had to install some packages in Ubuntu and change a few symlinks and it turned out to be a good host. Too bad that, from what you said, I will have to restart it (I didn't do chapter 5 in one shot).

I used Paldo linux live cd and i will use it again for lfs 7.6, i think we will see it shortly!

With Ubuntu you have to change the /bin/sh symlink from dash to bash, install bison, m4, g++ and gawk. Everything else is fine, next time I will take a look into Salix and Paldo

EDIT: I thought about using slackel too

I prefer calculate linux xfce livecd. Haven't tried the 14-release. You can load it into ram and it has a full user environment available while you are building.

I use Slax. Easy enough to install it to USB and add the missing modules (bison, perl, maybe something else).

I build my LFS on Debian Testing, it's ok, but you must install some packages.
