I'm guessing that, even <br>if I don't decide to build a Linux from scratch, a read-through of this <br>material will teach and illuminate much.<br><br>This e-book is "Linux From Scratch", Version 6.6, created by Gerard <br>Beekmans, edited by Matthew Burgess and Bruce Dubbs, (c) 1999-2010, <br>licensed under a Creative Commons License.<br><br>Major sections include: Prefatory material (why, audiences, etc.); I. <br>Introduction (how to, what's new, changelog, resources); II. Preparing <br>for the Build (partitioning, packages, dependencies, creating a <br>temporary system); III. Building the LFS System (extensive... the core <br>of the work); IV. Appendices (acronyms & terms, dependencies, boot & <br>config scripts, Udev config rules, LFS licenses).<br><br>Worth a look...<br>best regards,<br> -- Lorin<br>_______________________________________________<br>clue mailing list: clue@cluedenver.org<br>For information, account preferences, or to unsubscribe see:<br>http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue<br></div></body></html>
