Next message: bobby fuesz: "Re: [LUNI] Linux Distro How-to"
Jeff,
I've seen it mentioned here a number of times, today was the first time I
looked at it:
http://linuxfromscratch.org/intro/
This book is intended for Linux users who want to setup their own custom
build Linux system. Reasons for wanting to build such a system are diverse.
Perhaps you want to get into more detail as to what happens behind the
scenes. Perhaps you are fed up with distributions which are often bloated or
perhaps you don't want to rely on pre-compiled binaries due to security
concerns. There are many reasons why you may want a custom build system, but
if you are one of them, this book is meant for you.
The fruits of building your own system are plentiful, but the labour may be
hard. You have a long way ahead of you but in the end you will be able to
call yourself the proud owner of your own Linux system, completely tailored
after your needs. You dictate the layout of bootscripts, the file system
structure, which programs are installed in which directory, which versions
of software to use. Perhaps the most important reason is that you know
exactly what is installed where why and how.
