Yes, I rambled on about it, but in the end I agree with you. Alex makes a good point about not giving too much scope for getting it wrong - learners need to succeed to be encouraged. Frankly, I think LFS is just about right - which is one reason that there isn't much going on ;-) And so I get bored with it :-( What I need is something it can't handle, like Udev for several months a year ago, or a new booting scheme...
