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.
Great that you do this!
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 have now built LFS several times, and I can assure you that nobody
ever accused me of having project management skills!
Honestly, I think project management skills is the wrong word, as that
means to me to be able to coordinate several people to perform different
inter-dependable task at the right time.
To build LFS, this is not necessary, but it certainly helps to carefully
read and execute all the steps and have a lot of patience.
Scripting the separate steps for yourself is also very convenient, as it
helps you to spot any errors you did, by comparing your instructions
to the one in the book.
Most people fail by doing shortcuts that should not be done.
