| [c61dd1e] | 5 | <para>Having used a number of different Linux distributions, I was never
|
|---|
| [19c068f] | 6 | fully satisfied with any of them. I didn't like the arrangement of
|
|---|
| [c61dd1e] | 7 | the bootscripts. I didn't like the way certain programs were configured by
|
|---|
| 8 | default. Much more of that sort of thing bothered me. Finally I realized
|
|---|
| [26e62aa] | 9 | that if I wanted full satisfaction from my Linux system I would have to
|
|---|
| [c61dd1e] | 10 | build my own system from scratch, using only the source code. I resolved
|
|---|
| 11 | not to use pre-compiled packages of any kind, nor CD-ROM or bootdisk that
|
|---|
| 12 | would install some basic utilities. I would use my current Linux system to
|
|---|
| 13 | develop my own.</para>

| [cbf7965] | 15 | <para>This wild idea seemed very difficult at the time and often seemed
|
|---|
| 16 | an impossible task. After sorting out all kinds of problems, such as
|
|---|
| 17 | dependencies and compile-time errors, a custom-built Linux system was
|
|---|
| 18 | created that was fully operational. I called this system a Linux From Scratch
|
|---|
| 19 | system, or LFS for short.</para>
