We are going to build the LFS system by using an already installed Linux
|
|
distribution such as Debian, SuSE, Slackware, Mandrake, RedHat, etc. There
|
|
is no 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 Linux was not installed yet, it is not possible to put this
|
|
book to use right away. I suggest to first install a Linux
|
|
distribution. It really doesn't matter which one is installed. It also
|
|
doesn't need to be the latest version, though it shouldn't be too old.
|
|
If it is about a year old or newer it should do just fine. It will save
|
|
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 there is no choice.
