Linux from Scratch by Gerard Beekmans (PDF)

Description

Linux From Scratch describes the process of creating your own Linux system from scratch from an already installed Linux distribution, using nothing but the source code of software that you need. From the author’s introduction: “Having used a number of different Linux distributions, I was never fully satisfied with either of those. I didn’t like the way the bootscripts were arranged, or I didn’t like the way certain programs were configured by default and more of those things. I came to realize that when I want to be totally satisfied with a Linux system, I have to build my own Linux system from scratch. Ideally only using the source code. No pre-compiled packages of any kind. No help from some sort of cdrom or bootdisk that would install some basic utilities. You would use your current Linux system and use that one to build your own. This, at one time, wild idea seemed very difficult and at times almost impossible. The reason for most problems were due to my lack of knowledge about certain programs and procedures. After I sorted out all kinds of dependency problems, compilation problems, etcetera, a manually Linux system was created and fully operational. I called this system and LFS system which stands for Linux From Scratch.”

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Excellent book. Highly recommend

⭐I have to say that this book is excellent. The version printed here is actually the _very first_ version of Linux From Scratch I ever built (but not the first ever version of LFS), seeing as this is only version 2.2. Version 2.4.4 is the current version, at […] I highly recommend that you NOT buy this book, at least until an updated version is published following version 2.4.4. I should also note here that the author, Gerard Beekmans, was _not_ notified that his book was going to be published.

⭐This book is way out of date, the current status of this free project can be found at linuxfromscratch.org. The publishers of this book took material from the site and published it in paper form. The LFS version in this book is 2.2, currently it is 2.4.Plus there are some questions about the publishers not talking to the actual author before publishing.

⭐You have done a good job concealing the fact that this book is in Italian. Now I find you don’t accept returns. I have spent $25 and what can we do with a computer book we can’t read. You are a ripoff outfit. Phoebe Sharp
