You put a "sanity filter" on my question <GRIN>. If physical

Apparently Oregon

Missed that item when I was skimming the thread.  Please, do
not use
it - it is too old to build recent versions of LFS.

*ROFL* <giggle, giggle>
Where did I even suggest being "recent" was relevant ;/
But it will likely make you comfortable to know that while at the
library downloading the ISO of the 6.3 LiveCD, I also downloaded
the tar of 7.7 .

And just in case it isn't clear - for LFS we recommend that you
build a new system when the time comes to upgrade.

I'm interested in lfs solely as a personally instructive tool.


While reading the LFS Book version 6.1, I found a reference to “From Power Up To Bash Prompt”. Some meandering through The Wayback Machine [https://web.archive.org] led me to current URLs for:

"From Power Up To Bash Prompt"
http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~okeefe/p2b/power2bash/power2bash.html

and

"How To Build a Minimal Linux System from Source Code"
http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~okeefe/p2b/buildMin/buildMin.html

The later answers many of *MY* questions which had led me to investigate LFS.

My eventual goal would be a Debian Derivative that would be close to that with "apt-get --no-install-recommends ...". Yes, no compilers nor assemblers etc ;}
