    36 difficult to build an LFS system of less than 100 MB. Does that still sound like a
    37 lot? A few of us have been working on creating a very small embedded LFS
    38 system. We successfully built a system that was just enough to run the Apache
    39 web server with approximately 8MB of disk space used. Further stripping could
    40 bring that down to 5 MB or less. Try that with a regular distribution.</para>

    46 add your own ingredients which enhance the flavor of your burger. When you
    47 are satisfied with the recipe, you go on to preparing it. You make it just

     72foundation-level system. Readers who do not wish to build their own
     73Linux system from scratch may not benefit from the information in this
     74book. If you only want to know what happens while your computer boots,
     75we recommend the <quote>From Power Up To Bash Prompt</quote> HOWTO
     76located at <ulink url="http://axiom.anu.edu.au/~okeefe/p2b/"/> or on
     77The Linux Documentation Project's (TLDP) website at <ulink
     78url="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt.html"/>.
     79The HOWTO builds a bare system which is similar to that of this book,
     80but it focuses strictly on creating a system capable of booting to a
     81BASH prompt. Consider your objective. If you wish to build a Linux
     82system while learning along the way, then this book is your best

    75 want to read this book. If you do not wish to build your own Linux system from

    77 you build a complete and usable foundation-level system. If you only want to
    78 know what happens while your computer boots, then we recommend the <quote>From
    79 Power Up To Bash Prompt</quote> HOWTO. The HOWTO builds a bare system which is
    80 similar to that of this book, but it focuses strictly on creating a system
    81 capable of booting to a BASH prompt.</para>

    10 <para>Having used a number of different Linux distributions, I was never
    11 fully satisfied with any of them. I didn't like the arrangement of
    12 the bootscripts. I didn't like the way certain programs were configured by
    13 default. Much more of that sort of thing bothered me. Finally I realized
    14 that if I wanted full satisfaction from my Linux system I would have to
    15 build my own system from scratch, using only the source code. I resolved
    16 not to use pre-compiled packages of any kind, nor CD-ROM or boot disk that
    17 would install some basic utilities. I would use my current Linux system to
    18 develop my own.</para>
     10<para>Six years ago I embarked on the adventure known as Linux. I did
     11what most you guys have done: download a distribution, install it, and
     12work with it for a while. Then you don't quite like it and you hear
     13about a different distribution that is supposed to be great and fix
     14everything your current distribution does wrong. So you try that new
     15distribution out for a while. You may even repeat that same cycle a
     16few times.</para>
    1917
    20 <para>This wild idea seemed very difficult at the time and often seemed
    21 an impossible task. After sorting out all kinds of problems, such as
    22 dependencies and compile-time errors, a custom-built Linux system was
    23 created that was fully operational. I called this system a Linux From Scratch
    24 system, or LFS for short.</para>
     18<para>After you have tried out a number of different distributions,
     19you find that each has its strengths and weaknesses, but you can't
     20seem to find that one system that brings you the most satisfaction.
     21Personally, I came to the conclusion that to be truly satisfied with
     22my Linux system, I would have to somehow combine those different
     23systems into one <quote>perfect</quote> Linux system. It would then
     24have all the strengths from various different systems, without their
     25weaknesses.  But that surely is an impossible and daunting task. Or is
     26it?</para>
     27
     28<para>You can do better than simply combining several distributions
     29into one.  You can create your own Linux system from scratch.</para>
     30
     31<para>After figuring out things like circular dependencies, compile
     32time errors and other related issues, a custom built Linux system was
     33created and fully operational. I called this system a Linux From
     34Scratch system, or LFS for short. This book will show you how it was
     35done and how you can create your own LFS system, fully customized to
     36your own needs and desires.</para>
