Hi, I've recently found LFS. Thanks to those that feed and care for it. Nice project.
I've read through the book once and started my first build. It's proceeding fine. I'm typically a Gentoo user so most of what's going on in terms of building software is relatively familiar and I'm not having any trouble. (Yet!) That said my reason for searching out and trying LFS is to learn more about init scripts. It seems that the LFS init scripts - if I understand them and likely I don't - sort of leave the init scripts alone and as a result they remain sort of generic. They handle lots of different file system types and many conditions I don't think will be important to me. My personal goal is to understand, for a _very_ minimal system with just a couple of partitions and most all of the drivers built into the kernel, how to boot the kernel and then load everything by hand, one command at a time. I.e. = I'd like to mount /proc, mount /dev, mount /sys all by hand and then work through understanding what the scripts do step by step. I don't care about X for now. I do need networking. I'm wondering if there might be a good doc around, either LFS specific or even a for-sale Linux book I could buy, that covers what has to happen to get from that last stage of the kernel booting to a bash prompt that allows a user to login?
