We are going to build the LFS system by using an already installed Linux
|
||
|
distribution such as Debian, SuSe, Slackware, Mandrake, RedHat, etc. You
|
||
|
don't need to have any kind of bootdisk. We will use an existing Linux
|
||
|
system as the base (since we need a compiler, linker, text editor and other
|
||
|
tools).

If you don't have Linux installed yet, you won't be able to put this
|
||
|
book to use right away. I suggest you first install a Linux
|
||
|
distribution. It really doesn't matter which one you install. It also
|
||
|
doesn't need to be the latest version, though it shouldn't be a too old one.
|
||
|
If it is about a year old or newer it should do just fine. You will save
|
||
|
yourself a lot of trouble if your normal system uses glibc-2.1 or newer.
|
||
|
Libc5 isn't supported by this book, though it isn't impossible to use a
|
||
|
libc5 system if you have no choice.
