There's some things I've not quite understood about LFS. First being, if I were to fully compile a Linux OS together, are you able to package it to an .iso so other people can install and use it? and is it fully customisable? (Custom name, wallpapers, graphics etc)
@deadfire59 The LFS book provides instructions on how to build a complete Linux system, but leaves the actual implementation up to the builder. Because of this, the system is even more customizable than most other distributions. The drawback is that you will need some expertise to accomplish this if you build and configure it by hand. Building an ISO image or package archives is not fully explained in the LFS book, but is something that I've been able to add to LFScript by default.
Ubuntu is a good linux distro and i hope it goes continuies to improve on making a better linux OS (as everyone knows the linux community must move forward to in some way show that linux is just as capable system as any OS) and the best part about linux is it is open-source which means you can view and change any part of the Operating System and because of that it makes it the best system to learn how Operating Systems work i'll be downloading this distro because i want to go back to basic's
@trishtren18 Yes, I've had a report on this issue. See bug #797142 on launchpad. You can work around this by opening lfscript in a text editor and replace all occurrences of "&>>" in lfscript with "&>" (remove the extra ">").
@ShortGuyWithACamera Well, that's how it is. I have no control over how long download locations remain valid. And LFS specific sources now seem to change MD5 sums every couple of days (so I no longer check them in the next release).
As I explained earlier, the best I can do now is release another update (which I will do again in a couple of days). I'm also thinking about adding a secondary download mechanism, which may solve (or at least delay) this problem.
@arlindmusliu1 This means that LFScript was unable to download the source code for one or more of the packages. You could Google the names of those files and download them manually to the sources directory.
Whenever I release a new version I update the URL's for all downloads, so you could also wait a day or two and download the new version...
