Why not!
>>53673122
Abort and use QEMU like a real man.
>>53673122
>an user
>virtual machine
>>53673122
restart now
cloned the jhalfs svn from msys and made an iso image as systemrescuecd doesn't come with svn
>>53673122
>an secure shell
make a closed source distro pl0x
partitioning
Come in op
>>53673751
had to switch to fedora because systemrescuecd is missing packages from the halfs install
>>53672972
You should try installing an early build of Windows Chicago, it's a hell of a time.
>>53673816
i'm a pleb
pls explain whats going on here
>>53673846
no I spent enough time on windows 95
>>53673961
it's the automated install script for lfs:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/alfs/
>>53673961
OP is not installing Gentoo.
i just spent the whole day working with goddamned shitrescuecd and this thread triggered me
>>53673275
>GPT on a vbox VM
Does LFS specify this? It's a needless complication otherwise.
>>53673986
thanks i only once tried to build lfs manually, but gave up when something broke
downloading source tarballs, feels good to be leeching of the gnu ftp server
>>53674042
no I guess I picked gpt has a habit.
started to build the temp toolchain
still building?
>>53675268
just done, gotta compile a kernel now
configuring the kernel
>>53675364
grsecurity kernel is my suggestion
This thread got sticky potential.
>>53675575
agreed
Bump in this moterfucking giga thread!
kernel is ready, time to install a bootloader and fstab
>>53675680
Nigga, you got a powerful PC
>>53675680
i give it you're almost done?
>>53675680
How.
>>53673122
this looks like terrorist encryption magic, you should throw your screen to the wall
Huge pleb using vm and skripts.
direct boot from virtualbox efi shell with kernel efistub
and we have a working linux 4.5 system with internet access. next step is to compile Xorg, a wm and a browser.
>>53676552
show i3wm off OP
Does anyone actually understand the two/three stage compile sequence they have to do to "not have any external dependencies"? I could never figure it out completely
>>53676552
write your own package manager
started building BLFS with halfs, let's see how it goes
go on
>>53677746
hows the build op?
>>53674047
Same here. The instructions relied on several programs so old I literally couldn't find them at that version, and the oldest version I could find already had a completely different interface.
>>53674024
What's wrong with it? I heard it's based on gentoo and people recommend it a lot (personally I always go with a *buntu disk instead).
>>53675524
What config program is that?
>>53675538
Didn't grsecurity go full retard and closed source because some fag stole their name at some point?
Why not rsbac?
>>53679040
still compiling, I'll update if I get X to work
>>53679110
make nconfig
>>53677316
Which one?
>>53674049
gcc5.3_Bulgarian_edition
>>53672972
Keep this thread alive.
Hourly bump for the greater good

I hope the FTP Master bans you :^)

Linuxfags will defend this
>>53673196
>xv6 go home
>>53676552
use netbsd's pkgsrc
>>53676552
Install Portage
>>53680926
This is LFS, nigger
>Linux From "Scratch"
>Full of scripts that install everything for you.
You should just use Gentoo if what you want is to spend hours staring at GCC output.
>>53684108
>nonfree blobs
no thanks
>>53684192
A single config option and a single command remove not only all nonfree blobs, but also all nonfree branding and nonfree nonblobs from your system.
>>53675575
Why would it? There is nothing of importance happening in any step. You could sum everything up in >picture related
>>53679124
Nope, they just removed support for lts because it took to much time and people where taking it, modifying it and NOT distributing the changes, even though they should (because of license). So they got pissed and basically said: we will but more effort into this (and thus support lts again) when people pay us for it. Stable/Mainline still got grsec, and it's still opensource.
