I think that describes most of the people here. I know it describes me. > One question, just on the curious side: how did you schedule your LFS > experience when you first gave it a try? It took me about 2-3 weeks the first time at maybe 4-5 hours a day. This was after I had to restart a couple times for (what I now see where silly) mistakes. I think Alan and Richard have said this, but read the book completely. The section you skim is the section that will come back to bite you. Something I wish I had done more the first time was make sure I had a rudimentary understanding of what the commands were doing before using them to create my LFS system. Try out the commands on a temporary sandbox (as an unprivelaged user) if they're foreign to you. > I *think* it's > more like repairing that old motorcycle dating from the war that I found in > the attic: don't rush this sort of thing, put one foot after another, and > don't think about the end. If this is your attitude, then I guarantee success for you. The majority of lfs-support questions are from people who are rushing and haven't put any thought into how they've gotten to the point they are. If you read the book and periodically stop to think about what's going on, you'll need a lot less hand holding. > Anyway, so much for introduction. Good luck, and have fun. -- Dan Nicholson -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
