This will be handy to put in scripts so you can make LFS +installations fully automatic. + + + +Added explanations on the commands being executed to make it clearer why +and what is being done to install the packages. + + + +Chapter 1: Updated the HTTP mirror list and added the FTP mirror list. +This list is up-to-date as of November 14th, 2000. + + + +Chapter 5: In the Bash installation changed the --with-curses configure +option to --with-ncurses.

This won't be a problem because the * will expand in only one +directory so the 'ln' command won't complain about it. This makes it +easier to automate as well. + + + +Chapter 6: Mentioned the -e parameter to perl's Configure script that +makes the script not ask you anything after it has created the config.sh +script. + + + +Chapter 6: Removed the creation of the /usr/bin/install symlink - this +symlink was already created earier in chapter 5 + + + +Chapter 6: Added the creation of /var/log/lastlog where utmp, btmp and +wtmp are created. + + + +Chapter 6: When the yacc script is created in the Bison section, execute +a chmod 755 on it so we can execute the script. + + + +Chapter 6: Cosmetic change to the inittab file.

This will make it much +easier to copy & paste the commands from the book onto the command +line. Typing them all out is great for the first few times, but it tends +to get tedious after a while. You can of course use scripts to do this +all, but that's not the goal of this book. That's part of a different +project (alfs.linuxfromscratch.org). + + + +Swapped chapters 8 and 9. Now we first reboot and then setup networking. +If done the other way around, networking programs won't work unless both +the normal system and the LFS system are going to run the same kernel +version, which often is not the case. Swapping the chapters eliminates +that possible problem. + + + +Chapter 3: All packages have been moved to download.linuxfromscratch.org and +the links are updated accordingly. The official download sites for all +the packages are listed in Appendix C. + + + +Chapter 5+6: Moved the execution of localedef after Glibc in chapter 5 +to after you entered chroot in chapter 6. It was a mistake (the only +real bug in 2.4) to put it in chapter 5. + + + +Chapter 6: Installing Vim as the first program. In case you need to edit +something you an editor available right away. This also caused a couple +of other packages to be moved to satisfy depencies. + + + +Chapter 6: When we use sed to modify a Makefile file we now run make as +make -f Makefile2 instead of mv Makefile2 Makefile +&& make. + + + +Chapter 6: Added the publickey: files line to the +nsswitch.conf file. This is needed when you run a 2.4 kernel to login +properly. + + + +Chapter 6: Added the /usr/bin/yacc script that runs bison with the -y +switch to emulate yacc's output file name conventions. This is done +because there are a few packages out there that rely on yacc and can't +work with bison (yet). + + + +Chapter 6: Modified the /usr/sbin/makewhatis script after the +installation of the man package. The /usr/sbin/makewhatis script needs +the AWK= variable defined to /usr/bin/mawk. + + + +Chapter 7: Added the template script. This way you can easily add new +bootscripts without having to write them from scratch. + + + + + +2.4 - August 28th, 2000 + + + + + +Split the book up into two differnet books for Intel and PPC. + + + +Chapter 4: Added the mail and dev/pts directories to the +Creating directories section. + + + +Chapter 5: Everything from chroot and after has been put in a new +chapter. + + + +Chapter 6: Moved the optimization part to the point just before you +enter the chroot'ed environment. It's a waste to use compiler +optimizations for the static packages since they will be replaced +anyways. + + + +Chapter 6: To enter chroot we first cd to the $LFS/root directory. Some +older chroot programs have problems when you enter chroot when your +starting directory isn't inside the chroot environment. Also we don't +execute bash directly in the chroot'ed environment, but we start the +env program so we can enter with a clean environment that +only has CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS set. + + + +Chapter 6: A few people have had problems compiling M4 in the chroot'ed +enviroment. Instructions are provided how to install this package +statically for the affected users. + + + +Chapter 6: We can't move the 'mv' program during the dynamic +installation of the fileutils package with the mv program. So we copy +it to /bin first, then remove the /usr/bin/mv one. + + + +Chapter 5: Added 'make localedata/install-locales' to the Glibc +installation. This installs the locale files that various applications +use (most notable GDK applications) if you have an NLS capable system +(which LFS is, but with missing locales it's almost useless) + + + +Chapter 6: Moved vim's installation before Lilo since you might want to +edit Lilo's Makefile file to add compiler optimization. + + + +Chapter 6: Moved the installatin of shadow password suit after sh-utils. +Else sh-utils replaces the su version from shadow +password with it's own version which shouldn't happen. + + + +Chapter 6: Changed the way we enter the chroot'ed environment. We use +the env to create an empty enviroment so that enviroment +variables from the normal Linux system won't interfer in the chroot +enviroment. The only variable set when entering the chroot'ed +environment is the HOME variable. + + + +Chapter 6: Because of the new way we enter chroot, the +$LFS/root/.bash_profile file has been created that sets a few variables +like TERM, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and whatever you deem necesarry. + + + + + +2.3.7 - August 3rd, 2000 + + + + + +All chapters: Removed the <blockquote> SGML tags so that the contents of +files isn't indented anymore. This improves the easy of copy and pasting +from the book into your files without needing to manually reformat the +files to get rid of the indentations. + + + +Chapter 4: Added var/tmp to the chmod 1777 tmp usr/tmp +command. + + + +Chapter 4: Made mkdir commands less repetitive by putting the creation +of the directories in $LFS/usr and $LFS/usr/local in a for-loop. + + + +Chapter 5: Moved the chmod 754 command for MAKEDEV after the sed +operation. + + + +Chapter 5: Changed the order in which packages are installed to conform +more to a alphabetically ordering. + + + +Chapter 5: After console-tools has been installed the +/usr/share/defkeymap.kmap.gz file is created which will be used by the +loadkeys script. + + + +Chapter 5: Removed gcc -c watch.c from Installing +Procps. Please let us know if this is still needed on certain +hardware. + + + +Chapter 5: Added the /usr/bin/install symbolic link as it seems that at +least one package (sysklogd) has the install location hard coded in it's +Makefile file. + + + +Chapter 5: After gettext has been installed, we have a file /po-mode.el. +This file will be moved to /usr/share/gettext where it probably belongs. + + + +Chapter 5: Instead of passing --with-root-prefix=/ to e2fsprogs' +configure script, we now pass --with-root-prefix= + + + +Chapter 5: When gzip is installed and the files moved to /bin the hard +link between the files is removed. So we just move gzip to /bin and create +a symlink between gzip and gunzip. + + + +Chapter 5: In the chroot environment: changed the installation order of +a few packages who's dependencies have changed over time. + + + +Chapter 5: inittab file has been slightly updated to better support the +single user run level. When you change to run level S, s or 1 it will do +it's job properly now. + + + +Chapter 6: Fixed typo in the rc script (! -f sysinit_start -> ! -f +$sysinit_start). + + + +Chapter 6: Changed the loadkeys command in the loadkeys script. New +command is: loadkeys -d which loads the +/usr/share/keymaps/defkeymap.kmap.gz file. + + + +Chapter 6: Changed . /etc/init.d/functions into +source /etc/init.d/functions. + + + +Chapter 6: Removed the rm /fastboot command from the +checkfs script. + + + + + +2.3.6 - July 19th, 2000 + + + + + +Chapter 3: Re-ordered the software download list so it once again matches +the order in which packages are used (the first package listed in the +list is the first package that we will be using in the book, the second +listed package will be the second package used in the book, etc). + + + +Chapter 3: Added the file sizes of the packages you have to download. + + + +Chapter 3: Removed the start-stop-daemon package. + + + +Chapter 3: Added the findutils and glibc patches to the package list. + + + +Chapter 3: Added the man-pages package to the package list. + + + +Chapter 4: Moved the creation of the $LFS/dev/ files to chapter 5 after +we have entered the chroot environment. This is done because GID's on +normal system and LFS system might differ and the MAKEDEV script depends +on the GID's. + + + +Chapter 5: Added the installation of the man-pages package. + + + +Chapter 5: Added a few commonly used groups to the /etc/group file when +it is created (these are the groups needed by the MAKEDEV script). + + + +Chapter 5: The /proc/devices file is copied to $LFS/proc for the benefit +of the MAKEDEV script. The presence of this file ensures the proper +creation of the device files. + + + +Chapter 5: Layout changes. Every package installation has it's own page +now. Also the text from appendixa for every package is included with the +installation instructions so you can read what a package is about during +(or after or before) the installation of it. + + + +Chapter 5: Removed the patches for diffutils, grep, gzip and sed that +used to fix static link problems. The problems can be fixed by +passing compile arguments to the C pre-processor (cpp) instead. + + + +Chapter 5: Added the --disable-termcap option to configure to disable +termcap backward compatibility (if you want to know why termcap isn't used +anymore, please read the INSTALL file that comes with the Ncurses +package). + + + +Chapter 5: Added a few missing files from the fileutils package to the +mv commands. + + + +Chapter 5: Removed the installation of the start-stop-daemon package. + + + +Chapter 5: Removed the -e parameters from the make command lines. + + + +Chapter 5: Instead of editing the procinfo, procps and psmisc Makefile +files with a text editor, the sed command it used. + + + +Chapter 6: Added the setclock script in case your hardware clock isn't +set to GMT. + + + +Chapter 6: Removed the use of the start-stop-daemon program and replaced +them with custom functions that use programs like pidof and kill to +accomplish the same tasks but with more control over what happens. + + + +Chapter 6: Added the loadproc and killproc functions to the +/etc/init.d/functions file that take over the functions +the start-stop-daemon program used to perform. + + + +Chapter 6: When the checkfs script runs without errors it now prints a +green OK. + + + +Chapter 6: When /fastboot or /forcefsck exist, they won't be deleted +from within the checkfs script but from within the mountfs script as +soon as the root partition has been remounted in read-write mode. + + + +Chapter 6 & 7: Instead of sourcing a file with . +/etc/init.d/functions, source /etc/init.d/functions +is now used. This makes it easier to read and is clearer for persons who +don't know much about scripting. + + + +Appendix A: removed start-stop-daemon. + + + +Appendix B: Removed a few unrelated items from the book and howto +sections (the references to Sendmail and ISP-Hookup-HOWTO). + + + + + +2.3.5 - June 19th, 2000 + + + + + +Chapter 3: Updated LILO download location + + + +Chapter 3: Updated Shadow Password Suite download location + + + +Chapter 3: Updated the Flex download location + + + +Chapter 3: Updated the File download location + + + +Chapter 3: Added netkit-base and net-tools to the mandatory packages +section + + + +Chapter 5: A glibc-2.1.3 patch is available if you have problems +compiling glibc on a bash-2.04 machine. + + + +Chapter 5: Added compiler optimization + + + +Chapter 5: Added the creation of the root password to +Configuring essential software + + + +Chapter 5: The Linux86 package has been replaced by the Bin86 +package. + + + +Chapter 5: Included information on how to optimize compilations. + + + +Chapter 5: Moved installation of Groff and Man before Perl.

I'm not going to write down every time how to ungzip and how +to untar an archive. I will tell you how to do that once, in this paragraph. +There is also the possibility that you have the ability of downloading +a .tar.bz2 file. Such a file is tar'ed and compressed with the bzip2 program. +Bzip2 achieves a better compression than the commonly used gzip does. In +order to use bz2 archives you need to have the bzip2 program installed. +Most if not every distribution comes with this program so chances are +high it is already installed on your system.

+ + +Some tar programs (most of them nowadays but not all of them) are +slightly modified to be able to use bzip2 files directly using either +the I or the y tar parameter which works the same as the z tar parameter +to handle gzip archives. + + + +When you have a file that is tar'ed, you unpack it by running: + + +
+ + tar xvf filename.tar + +
+ + +When the archive is unpacked a new directory will be created under the +current directory (and this document assumes that you unpack the archives +under the $LFS/usr/src directory).
