Greetings, Thank you for producing such high-quality instructions. The accuracy and consistency of the LFS book are remarkable considering the frequent changes to the packages and the number of contributors.
It has been a number of years since my last LFS build. Work load and no internet connection at home being the major contributing factors. My first build was on an i486---I seem to recall LFS being a HOWTO. I kept some notes during the present build (see attached). If my students produced work a fraction as good as the LFS book, I would be a happy human indeed. (In my capacity as Physics lecturer I have produced notes for a large part of our undergraduate syllabus. I am also constantly saddled with marking and checking reports, and am involved in teaching LaTeX for report and thesis writing. I have a fair appreciation of how easy it is to make mistakes and how difficult it is to make a document consistent and free of error.) The comments are mostly nitpicks, but hopefully I am not incorrect in assuming that those producing work of such a high standard would appreciate the kind of feedback attached. I do not want to impose my style or preferences, so please feel free to ignore any of the suggestions I've made. I have witnessed some ugly spats between academics and journal editors and have no wish for such a scenario. At the end is a small section of queries---they are all very minor. Some of these may be particular to Fedora 27, Some may be bogus. (I interrupted the boot after building bash and failed to enter a new login shell after the next chroot so compiled a few packages from /tools/bin/bash.) I now have internet at home and have subscribed to this list so will happily clarify anything if required. Thanks again for your hard work. Regards, Allard System: AMD FX-6300, 16Gb Host: Fedora 27 LFS: Stable 8.1-systemd
