All, I just finished my first LFS build (7.2), and am super excited. I was able configure lilo and boot my new system.
I wanted to thank the individuals responsible for providing the LFS guide. It wasn't as easy a I thought, but the guide was awesome. Some things I learned (possibly help new people to LFS) -Follow the Host System Requirements! I started with Knoppix, went to Fedora, and then ended up using slackware. Had I made sure my Host System Requirements were right from the beginning, I would have saved much pain and time. -Building programs from source isn't that bad. Although I took Unix Admin in college, I really never understood building programs from source and all the different extensions for packages (.bz2,tar,xf) After doing LFS, I finally have a good understanding of source files and building programs. I generally enjoy knowing how linux works, and LFS has helped me gain a deeper understanding of linux. Off to BLFS land.
