Hi everyone. I've written some instructions and scripts to build LFS (Linux From Scratch), version 10.0, as simply as possible (I know, not that simple, but anyway). It's basically a super summarized version of the LFS book.
- First, this guide does not replace reading the whole LFS book. I highly recommend that you read it at least once. Only then you should use the automation scripts provided here.
- The whole process is run inside VirtualBox.
- You need two hard disks attached to your VM (one for the host, one for receiving the LFS build).
- Most steps will be executed via Shell scripts (there are four of them).
- Some steps need to be manually run.
- At the end, you will be able to create a separate VM and boot from it directly.
Hope you enjoy it, and feel free to send me feedback.
You can check the instructions and get the scripts from my GitHub repository: https://github.com/luisgbm/lfs-scripts
