Hi all, I am new to LFS and I started on it because I want to create an optimized distro for dual core processors for myself. I am trying to see whether I can create a distro that would boot faster and run faster than the OpenSuse-11.1 I have installed on my machine. Eventually I would like to share my work with people too (after doing BLFS of course).
The whole thing will take me a lot of time. And so, I was wondering if someone could tell me: 1. Whether distros like Fedora, Ubuntu and OpenSuse also follow LFS/BLFS steps to create their versions of Linux. 2. What are some obvious optimizations for dual core processors that I should remember to include? 3. Once the LFS/BLFS system is made, how do I package it into a .iso DVD? 4. What could be the downside of creating a super-optimized (for speed) distro? Could there be issues with backward compatibility perhaps? I am sorry if my questions are too broad. But I don't know enough to ask really precise questions. Hence, please bear with me. Thanks Abhinav. -- It's the peoples' will, I am their leader, I must follow them. (Jim Hacker in Yes Minister)
