So what exactly was the answer, because there isn't one in the reply. Here's what it comes down to:
We need a system, that has: Kernel, drivers, sound support, networking etc. bash x windows, the smallest window manager available, which we can opt not to use. smb ftp client wget mono gtk-Sharp that's it, the total install should be around 150mb. -----Original Message----- From: lfs-support-boun...@linuxfromscratch.org [mailto:lfs-support-boun...@linuxfromscratch.org] On Behalf Of Bruce Dubbs Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 6:08 PM To: LFS Support List Subject: Re: Building LFS using jhlfs Jacob Alifrangis wrote: > Ok, so before I ask anything let me introduce myself: > > My name is Jacob Alifrangis and I am the Chief Architect at > Braindonors Networks, and I am starting a new project that we to run > on linux, but all of the distributions out there have oodles of > bloatware on them and we really don't need the garbage that comes with > them, so we decided to build our own distribution. > > And here's where we get stuck, there's nothing out there that is > really easy to build; you'd figure that after 15 plus years of linux > being around, that someone, somewhere would get it, and build a tool > to build a linux environment.

You have to understand that LFS is not a distro in the classic form, it is a book that describes how to build a Linux system. > Build LFS > > Configure using the Menu Download file from wget > http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/6.4/LFS-BOOK-6.4-wget-li > st then mkdir sources cd sources wget -i ../LFS-BOOK-6.4-wget-list > > make [fails] Creating Makefile... START LFS/master.sh: line 382: cd: > ./Build-LFS/jhalfs/lfs-commands: No such file or directory > > <jhalfs 2.3.2> exit jhalfs was a tool used by the LFS editors to extract the commands from the book and build a system. There have been many changes over the years to the book and jhalfs does not have a formal system of releases. That said, the development version of jhalfs in subversion does do a decent job in building the current book. By the way, the current version of LFS is 6.8. The 6.4 version of the book was released in November 2008. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
