LFS 8.3

LFS installer scripts. This collection of scripts and makefiles is meant to make builds easier, not saver. Instructions are left intentionally vague. It is highly advised to always follow the book (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/8.3/)

Chapter 2.2

# bash version-check.sh

Chapter 2.4 - 4.4

The setup script will reformat de given disk to one big ext4 partition, any data on that disk will be lost. If you wish to use a swap partition create and initialise it yourself.

Chapter 5.4 - 5.34 (41.9 SBU)

To build packages individually

$ make rGCCPass1
$ make rAPIHeaders
$ make rGlibc
