Exactly! But how you will do the study? If not reading on books, then the best is to try to actually use the system, in real world tasks. > 2.

I think this case cualifies perfectly as "special customization" and shows what kind of control over your computer you can have when you push to the limit. Sure it will have some hard times here and there, but that is also why many people choose Linux and LFS in the first place...if don't, go grab the nearest PS around =)... Besides i don't see that this way gives you "the longest linux installation". If size is the matter, with the level of supervision you have it gives you the smallest and most optimized install. Regarding time...yes it could take a bit longer, but that's not much when it starts to save you from (for example) overlapping libs/binaries from different packages, or the troubles a bad suid setup can bring. that is my humble oppinion -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
