5 | <para>Having used a number of different Linux distributions, I was never
|
---|
6 | fully satisfied with any of them. I didn't like the arrangement of
|
---|
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
|
---|
9 | that if I wanted full satisfisfaction from my Linux system I would have to
|
---|
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>
|
---|
14 |
|
---|
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>

21 | <para>I hope you will have a great time working on your own LFS!</para>
