My motivation? Well..... I was told that it's an educational endeavour and I'm always up to learning new things. I'll have to do it again to really learn things. I thought that some of the programs that installed sounded really interesting and that I'll have to look into them more. I really do want to learn about linux and to possibly get into the security aspect of things or to learn programming.... maybe both. I need to dream big! :-)~MIKE~(-: On Mon, Aug 25, 2014 at 10:00 PM, Brian Cluff wrote: > Just curious, what's your motivation to create a LFS system? > The last time I rolled my own minimal system was when I needed to have a > system to load linux onto machine from an image.
