Either the LinuxFromScratch book is making some aggressive assumptions about my basic Linux knowledge, or my Linux abilities aren’t quite as good as I thought. Unfortunately, its probably the latter.
Long story short, I came across this video series on YouTube put together by user SudoTech.
He walks through the LFS 7.10 book pretty much step-by-step. The videos also fill in some of the assumption gaps made by the book. In my case, reminded me that “oh yeah, I knew that.”
the videos are a little dated, but still applicable. As stated, SudoTech is using version 7.10 of the LFS book in his videos. I’m following along with version 8.1. The only differences so far are package versions and a few additional packages.
Pretty good set of videos that have helped me fill the knowledge gaps in my basic Linux while creating my own version of Linux.
