5Having used a number of different Linux distributions, I was never fully
6satisfied with any of those. I didn't like the way the bootscripts were
7arranged, or I didn't like the way certain programs were configured by
8default, and more of those things. I came to realize that when I want to
9be totally satisfied with a Linux system, I have to build my own Linux
10system from scratch, ideally using only the source code. Not using
11precompiled packages of any kind. No help from some sort of CD-ROM or
12bootdisk that would install some basic utilities. I would use my current
13Linux system and use that one to build my own.

17This, at one time, wild idea seemed very difficult and, at times, almost
18impossible. The reason for most problems were due to my lack of knowledge
19about certain programs and procedures. After sorting out all kinds of
20dependency problems, compilation problems, etcetera, a custom-built Linux
21system was created and fully operational. I called this system an LFS
22system, which stands for Linux From Scratch.
