Is this something that will allow you to create a new distro?
- kenniskrag 6y agoyes, because a distro is a collection of software on top of the kernel.
- nix23 6y agoNo you build your own gnu/linux...from scratch.
- smcphile 6y agoIt can be a first step to creating a new distribution, but most people just do it as a learning experience. Here's one example though of someone who went on to create a new distribution: http://www.nutyx.org/en/ http://www.nutyx.org/en/ To create a distribution, you need a package manager of some sort to manage software updates, and while LFS discusses some possible package managers that's not really its focus.
- Foxboron 6y agoSure, Arch Linux was bootstrapped with LFS by Judd around 2001/2002. Back then pacman was written bash I think?
- Koshkin 6y agoYes you can scratch that itch using LFS. (Hey, here's an idea for such distribution's name: "Linux From the Itch.")
