This is a great resource for those building embedded systems and want to understand how everything is really put together.<p>Did this years ago and learned a ton, that said I'd probably never do it again. Once you know, you know. And sometimes you wish you knew less.
I never followed this but in ca 1995 I built a Linux boot / rescue floppy disk from scratch. The amount of confidence this gave me with Linux was insane, and I benefit from it to this day.
While it isn’t LFS I’ve been building custom OS distros with bitbake/openembedded for a work project recently. I’d be curious if someone here has done both LFS and used bitbake/OE to see what their thoughts are comparing the two.
I am eager to try this out. As a self-taught developer, I'm in a big turtles-all-the-way-down phase and I feel learning the ins-and-outs of Linux will give me intellectual satisfaction.<p>I would appreciate some thoughts on whether to go by the systemd route or the non-systemd route. The pros and cons.
I put together and maintained a from-scratch embedded distro in the 2006-2010 time frame. I took a hint or two from Linux from Scratch.<p>I introduced the idea of using quilt for applying all the patches. I've noticed more recently that OpenEmbedded and Yocto do the same thing.
