I didn't like the way the bootscripts were +arranged, or I didn't like the way certain programs were configured by +default and more of those things. I came to realize that when I want to +be totally satisfied with a Linux system, I have to build my own Linux +system from scratch, ideally only using the source code. Not using +pre-compiled packages of any kind. No help from some sort of cdrom or +bootdisk that would install some basic utilities. You would use your current +Linux system and use that one to build your own. + + + +This, at one time, wild idea seemed very difficult and at times almost +impossible. The reason for most problems were due to my lack of knowledge +about certain programs and procedures. After sorting out all kinds of +dependency problems, compilation problems, etcetera, a custom built Linux +system was created and fully operational. I called this system an LFS +system, which stands for LinuxFromScratch. + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
