for now I am doing the older linux kernels and as I work thru each
release of LFS, when I get to a version of LFS that requires Linux
2.6, then I will switch to a newer version of Red Hat, but that is a
long way off. As I am currently at version 2.0, it will be awhile
before I work my way up to even LFS version 5..
THANK YOU Marty
I started at LFS 3.2
Going through the LFS Get Counted database here:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/cgi-bin/lfscounter.php
I am number 3788. Woohoo.
I found it fun building old LFS versions. The only issue is finding
all of the packages for those respective versions. For 2.4.4 I ended
up using a slackware source iso (yes you can still find slackware
iso's even back to 3.0 or earlier) which have most of the sources. The
LFS_ARCHIVES, for versions which I could find the packages, they have
a packages directory. You may want to use that as you move along.
It is interesting to see how LFS has progressed since inception.
Some may think you are wasting time going through each release. For
maintenance releases, I'd go directly to the last one, such as 2.4.4
rather than start at 2.4 and go to 2.4.4. It's a good learning
endeavor if that is what you are going through. It's especially easy
with vm's. When I used vmware I could setup the guest for a linux 2.2
or 2.4 or 2.6 system.
Sincerely,
William Harrington
