Hi,
has anyone got a good suggestion how to get the sources for the
kernel, udev, util-linux and the other packages hosted at kernel.org
while the site is down for maintenance?
another piece in the puzzle -- Karel Zak has moved util-linux here:

a look at LFS section at LINUXQUESTIONS.ORG. I got two links

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
Oh yeah, and the build HAS to be reproducible.
I.E. if we make a change, we should be able to something like this:
cd /xyz/source
make
then run our packaging script.
It should be really simple, and it's stunning that this doesn't exist.

No, we don't need embedded anything, this is desktop.
So youre telling me there is no way that LFS can be used to build the
requirements below in a reproducible fashion?
I think then, that this project should be called something other than LFS,
maybe: sometimes it works, but we don't guarantee
LFS is a book you follow to make the distro yourself. Ergo, if you want those.
Download the packages and build them on your own.
LFS isn't really meant to be a, here run this script and it will build a whole
functioning system for you, kind of setup. It's meant to teach people HOW to
build a
It works as long as you have the needed packages installed already.

Ok, I'll give it another whack, but it really seems that there should be
something better to build a system that works.

The exact answer is that LFS is a book made by humans, for humans and
that there is no standardized way of feeding it to the machine.
LFS owns up to everything they claim, but it requires a somewhat working
knowledge of the command line and helps you through the process of building
a system that suits your needs. If you take the time to learn you can build
a custom system. Document your process and then script it out if you'd
Ok, fine, but that's not really the point.
I have looked at DSL and Puppy, but we need to make customizations to the
source, and these two are choc full of bloatware.

In 2009 I customized the LFS Live CD to build a bootable demonstration

You do a single make and hours later an .iso file pops out.
The last release of the live CD corresponded to LFS 6.3. I updated

Do you have a reading comprehension problem?
You asked for a step by step guide, LFS is one.
You asked for a script giving reproducible result.
