I'm almost 31 and I said the same thing to myself this weekend. Ironically coincident with this announcement, I ended up going through LFS and managed to get a kernel compiled using an entirely bootstrapped toolchain. About halfway through I noticed the development version they're discussing, which is available here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/ http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/ I believe this version is likely able to be run-through but please keep in mind it looks like it's been changing every few days! To the point of other commentators mentioning it can get a little tedious, especially in chapter 6- I think the new revised edition they're working on could help with that somewhat as it looks like avoiding the /tools buildout will help minimize the number of packages that need to get rebuilt.
