It may revive my interest in LFS.

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 ��

I have successfully built LFS 7.9 twice using Slackware as the
host system with a default full-install. I'm currently trying to
build 7.9 Systemd. I've been using various versions of Linux off
and on for the last 18 years or so, but never too deeply into the
technical aspects. (Yes, I still use Microshaft too) I'm in my
late 50's. I can manage most simple scripting issues, but I'm not
a 'programmer'. I started with RH, I've used Mandrake, Debian,
Slackware and others just to play with them. I currently have
Debian (stretch) onboard with Slackware on a second partition,
and several other partitions available between 2 drives totaling
2.4 TB. I'm using an Intel Core i3 @ 3.2Ghz, with 8GB ram. I
always have a spare computer around just for experimentation,
which is what I use this one for.
To date I have not successfully built LFS using Debian (Wheezy,
Jessie, or Stretch). I'll get into glibc on the build tools when
it fails.
I've checked the system requirements and I appear to meet them
I added build-essential, bison, gawk, and vim (I hate vim-tiny).
I fixed the link to /bin/bash from /bin/dash, Is there something
obvious here that I'm missing? The version-check script shows
everything as ok with a clean compile on the dummy.c.
I've wiped the system clean and getting ready to start over, any
suggestions before I begin again? I gather from all the
references that the LFS team has used Debian as a host before.
Any additional packages that I need to get into Debian before
trying again?
Thanks,
Daniel
There once *WAS* a project called "Debian from scratch".
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.
