Having used a number of different Linux distributions, I was never fully
|
||
|
|
satisfied with any of those. 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.
