Linux from scratch will take a lot of bandwidth (amount of time) and resources (disk space for source code and compilation). You can just take ubuntu change default themes and settings, add and remove packages, change things as you need and create a new distro from that. It will take very less time compared to Linux From Scratch. Thanks, Prasanna _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
