I checked the DFS links, I'm sure it was an interesting project. Finding the old source might be impossible at this point. I also went through the FAQ's and I see where it cautions against Fedora-core 4, (I might even have an old cd of that somewhere in a box.) What I didn't see were the refs to Debian. This may take some time, but I'm going to struggle on with it just because I can't let it win.
Having fun with it regardless [?] ________________________________ From: lfs-chat <[email protected]> on behalf of Richard Owlett <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2016 11:32:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [lfs-chat] Issues with host system Debian On 6/25/2016 6:14 AM, Daniel Bernhardt wrote: > I have successfully built LFS 7.9 twice using Slackware as the > host system with a default full-install.

I've no idea how closely related to LFS it was. Interesting links at https://www.google.com/search?q=+"debian+from+scratch"+site:debian.org A relevant thread begins at https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/06/thrd2.html#00617 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570272 evidently removed supporting packages from the Debian archive.
