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, 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 Linux
|
|
system from scratch, ideally using only the source code. Not using
|
|
precompiled 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.
