> I like the idea of LFS, but if you are going to present a tutorial on anything that depends on external resources, then that tutorial should be maintained so that as long as the end user follows the instructions, it will always work, all the time. This is a pretty tall order for a niche project like LFS, which is most likely maintained by a bunch of guys on their free time. You really can't expect them to be able to keep it up to date all the time. Fwiw. it's not too difficult to build a small bootable linux distro, but it might be easier to use e.g. Musl+BusyBox rather than GNU userspace. I've put together a small bootable Linux from Git repos, it takes about a day or two to build binutils and GCC for cross compiling, then building kernel, libc, busybox and making an initrd image that boots.
