so i chose fidonet for this post on purpose. :P i wanted it go get out to as
many nix users as possible, with a broad reach that will get to bbs users
beyond my inner-circle... i've been having a great time learning linux from
scratch. believe it or not, i've installed lfs several times; sometimes
because - broken, but once i got the hang of it, and learned the underlying
skills needed to create successful systems, it was more about trying all the
flavors of lfs available.

i ended up liking lfs_sd [linux from scratch systemd] and blfs [beyond linux
from scratch]. i'm getting consistent builds and even use alfs [automated
linux from scratch] which uses scripting to streamline the build process - anf
then you just edit the handful of 'variable' files it builds.. hostname,
hosts, resolve.conf and network settings files... fstab and things like that.
blah.

i've got a pretty solid system now, with a good kernel build, that has
networking - both eth and wifi!!! i've built several after-lfs packages like
cmatrix, openssh, nano and m0re.

are there other lfs users in the bbs-land? do you run on actual hardware -
this is what i find most useful... if you have a thinkpad thats a bit long in
the tooth, its a great platform. 

what do you like to install on? i prefer live-linunx usb's; endevourOS,
knoppix or even tails... i like to install lfs to a separate HDD as doing so
with the donor and lfs on one drive is - ugly.

lemme know if you've been counted on lfs. lemme know if you've built anything
- well not even cool, but... useful? no... lemme know, tho. :P
