That's one of my main motivations for taking on LFS. Until now, I always installed a working Slack as a starting point for compiling everything else. But at some point, I failed to build bigger things like MEncoder, transcode, ffmpeg (or, horror of horrors, GNOME). I hope LFS will help me get a grasp of that. As a diehard Slacker, I'm certainly not a lamer for RTFM, though I do have to check my limits. While I did work through some chapters of the "Advanced Bash Scripting Tutorial", I'm not exactly in the mood for learning how to code in C. Motivation ends here. My main PC is a 2.4 GHz Pentium IV with 512 MB of RAM, so I'm not afraid of SBU's.
