#linux from scratch

[nixcraft]

I just installed LFS (Linux From Scratch). It only took me three weeks, 1000 cups of coffee, and a complete mental breakdown. 🙃

Creating a Linux distro, from the ground up, by automating an LFS build sounds so much simpler than I already know that it would be.

I have enough projects. I don't need that too.

Throwback to the glibc aborkening. Don't install LFS on 2 hours of sleep on your main system, doesn't end too well.

Yet another LFS attempt

people who have been following me for a while will know that for a while now I've been attempting LFS (compiling the Linux kernel from scratch, essentially creating a custom distro)

Last time I did this I was sooooooo fucking close, but I accidentally fucked up the /lib64 directory and couldn't chroot.

Its been a few months since then, so we're doing this yet again

Currently installing LFS on an eMachine from 2007 just to feel something.

(lfs w/ glibc-2.39 and mixed version of packages to ensure a proper working system, plus wifi access [no gnat/gcc-ada or mingw-w64 quite yet], and i streamed it all on my youtube channel)

i have done it

the linux flavored linux lives now

I may or may not have found a Linux distribution that, instead of giving you an installer or liveISO to install from, it gives you a PDF telling you how to install everything from scratch, compiled from source.

I’m about to lose a sizable portion of my free time.
