- Having used a number of different Linux distributions, I was never fully
- satisfied with any of those. I didn't like the way the bootscripts were
- arranged, I didn't like the way certain programs were configured by
- default, and more of those things. I came to realize that if I wanted to
- be fully satisfied with a Linux system, I would have to build my own system
- from scratch, ideally using only the source code. Not using
- pre-compiled packages of any kind. No help from some sort of CD-ROM or
- bootdisk that would install some basic utilities. I would use my current
- Linux system and use that one to build my own.

- This, at one time, wild idea seemed very difficult and at times almost
- impossible. After sorting out all kinds of dependency problems, compile
- problems, etcetera, a custom-built Linux system was created and fully
- operational. I called this system an LFS system, which stands for Linux
- From Scratch.
