Description

During the past week or so, I have created a book that I am calling Games for Linux From Scratch (GLFS). There were multiple reasons that I created this, but then main one was so that I could track what was required to install XYZ game on the LFS/BLFS system and this would also help me to know what I did to get it installed. I also wanted to understand the XML that we use for the other books and how the book got created into a HTML format.

At any rate, I have a book created that has three games and three utilities documented in it. I have also set up sections for the grouping of 11 type of games. If anyone is interested I can tar the XML and/or the HTML and send it along.

My proposal is that we start a new section of LFS called GLFS (or include in BLFS), This would involve web site, mailing lists, support, SVN, etc. Sounds simple but I know this is a lot of work, but I already have a good start on the book. I have copied the table of contents below which probably has more than is needed in the Introduction section.

Simple and straight to the point.

Let me know what you think.
