I didn't like the way the bootscripts were +arranged, I didn't like the way certain programs were configured by +default, and more of those things. I came to realize that if I wanted to +be fully satisfied with a Linux system, I would have to build my own system +from scratch, ideally using only the source code. Not using +pre-compiled packages of any kind. No help from some sort of CD-ROM or +bootdisk that would install some basic utilities. I would use my current +Linux system and use that one to build my own. + + + +This, at one time, wild idea seemed very difficult and at times almost +impossible. After sorting out all kinds of dependency problems, compile +problems, etcetera, a custom-built Linux system was created and fully +operational. I called this system an LFS system, which stands for Linux +From Scratch. + + + +I hope all of you will have a great time working on LFS! + + + +-- +Gerard Beekmans +gerard@linuxfromscratch.org + + + + diff --git a/preface/preface.xml b/preface/preface.xml index 37db6bafa..7f50228e6 100644 --- a/preface/preface.xml +++ b/preface/preface.xml @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ Preface +&pf-foreword; &pf-whoread; &pf-whonotread; &pf-organization; -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
