Linux From Scratch for Newbies - Part 1
by vsayanam from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XKGF)
Thanks to the forum for allowing me to post my experiences in compiling LFS projects.
I have compiled LFS-7.x, 8.x and currently I am completing LFS-9.0.
I have already made a text file for creating LFS-9.0 along with screenshots. This will be posted shortly.
Meanwhile, I propose to send some tips for compiling LFS and BLFS-9.0.
TIP-1:
After completing LFS, we are eager to continue with BLFS. We continue with host system to compile make-ca-1.4, wget, nano, openssh-8.0p1, dhcpcd etc. and then start to install Xwindow system environment from Chapter 24 and then LXDE from Chapter 37 since LXDE is the simplest of all.
We can then boot in to LXDE. For copy and paste work from LFS and BLFS Books, we need a web browser. But installing Firefox or Seamonkey will take time in host PC. Fortunately, Pale Moon web browser is available readily. We download it from web site, untar it, change directory to palemoon and then a simple ./palemoon will load the web browser. We can download LFS and BLFS Books and start installing other programs! Help is available from their web site for making desktop entries. I have found this highly useful and hope that others also will find it useful.
