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, I didn't like the way certain programs were configured by
8default, and more of those things. I came to realize that if I wanted to
9be fully satisfied with a Linux system, I would have to build my own system
10from scratch, ideally using only the source code. Not using
11pre-compiled 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. After sorting out all kinds of dependency problems, compile
19problems, etcetera, a custom-built Linux system was created and fully
20operational. I called this system an LFS system, which stands for Linux
21From Scratch.
