I will talk about LFS on Saturday (Japan time) in an event for open source developers.
The LFS Book has been translated into Japanese, but from what I have heard, it is not widely known. Initially I suggested the lecture title "LFS: The Operation System Built Entirely From Source Code" to the event organizers, but they said that those attending wouldn't recognize "LFS" and ordered me to change that to "Linux From Scratch". Those who have heard of LFS are likely to regard it a distant goal, something desirable but hard to achieve, a lofty dream. I will speak on the merits of LFS, how the build process works and prerequisite skills. Because I think consider a major shortcoming of the current LFS Book is failure to discuss project management, I plan to make it clear that you need project management skills to succeed in building a working system and tell the audience what those skills are. I will also briefly discuss disk partitioning, /etc/fstab and GRUB setup which tend to be largely automated in the installers of major distributions these days. If you have any advice for me please let me know. Thank you. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
