I'm amazed that this still exists.

I'm not really sure how viable this is, in 2018, but I remember back a long time ago reading LFS docs on TLDP being quite instrumental in figuring out how things actually worked.

While I never actually ran a full LFS system, there were fewer things that were packaged "back in the day" and sometimes you just had to roll your own a lot more than you do in 2018. Reading LFS docs was, personally, instrumental, in figuring out how to make stuff work.


Personally, I've built the whole thing a month ago to understand all the moving parts of a Linux install.

I think it's super-useful.
