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!

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. This was the days before most machines had CDROM drives, so I needed a version of liux that fit on a floppy. It was also long before the Linux from scratch project existed so it was quite fun finding everything that I needed to make it work... which it did in the end.
Since then I haven't really needed to create a system from scratch, other than creating a few net boot systems, which isn't quite the same thing.

I have been trying to do Linux from Scratch for 2 years now (I created
about 8 virtual machines to do so) and have NEVER progressed beyond
chapter five. Well, I got a computer to dedicate to my LFS build and it
took me two weeks to get to chapter 7. This is so cool!
