Linux From Scratch again
Last year I built a Linux system using LFS.org. That build was based on LFS 6.5. They are now up to 7.0. So far I've swapped out the drive in my old laptop, and downloaded all of the packages. I am ready to proceed. I created a blog below to try and keep me honest:

Good deal. I am looking forward to reading it. I plan on doing it in December when I am out of school. -

I have added updates, including some notes on ZFS.
I have added additional entries, made some notes on rsync, and am about to start the final compiling pass. -

I have now finished compiling everything, including the build of a new kernal. Prepared the external drive, with a new MBR, and installed GRUB. Now I need to take the drive out of the laptop, and put the new one in, and see if I can boot. -

I finally have a bootable system. Its only a command line system, but it boots and recognizes commands. Now I will move on to Beyond Linux From Scratch to add further functionality and a X Windows system.
