| | 8 | === LFS teaches people how a Linux system works internally === |
| | 9 | Building LFS teaches you about all that makes Linux tick, how things work together and depend on each other. And most importantly, how to customize it to your own tastes and needs. |
| 17 | | "[wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] ''yourenvdir'' initenv" created |
| 18 | | a new Trac environment, containing a default set of wiki pages and some sample |
| 19 | | data. This newly created environment also contains |
| 20 | | [wiki:TracGuide documentation] to help you get started with your project. |
| | 11 | === Building LFS produces a very compact Linux system === |
| | 12 | When you install a regular distribution, you often end up installing a lot of programs that you would probably never use. They're just sitting there taking up (precious) disk space. It's not hard to get an LFS system installed under 100 MB. Does that still sound like a lot? A few of us have been working on creating a very small embedded LFS system. We installed a system that was just enough to run the Apache web server; total disk space usage was approximately 8 MB. With further stripping, that can be brought down to 5 MB or less. Try that with a regular distribution. |
| 22 | | You can use [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] to configure |
| 23 | | [http://trac.edgewall.com/ Trac] to better fit your project, especially in |
| 24 | | regard to ''components'', ''versions'' and ''milestones''. |
| | 14 | === LFS is extremely flexible === |
| | 15 | Building LFS could be compared to a finished house. LFS will give you the skeleton of a house, but it's up to you to install plumbing, electrical outlets, kitchen, bath, wallpaper, etc. You have the ability to turn it into whatever type of system you need it to be, customized completely for you. |
| 27 | | TracGuide is a good place to start. |
