linux from scratch

[Brian Cluff]

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.
