Instructions and scripts to automate the process of building a LFS system

• install host requirements

on debian based systems:

sudo apt -y install m4 bison texinfo build-essential &&
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

on rhel based systems:

sudo dnf -y install gcc g++ make m4 bison byacc patch texinfo

• check host requirements

bash version-check.sh

edit vars.sh to set the desired parallel JOBS for compiling

proceed with the LFS chapters:

• 2.4. Creating a New Partition
• 2.5. Creating a File System on the Partition
• 2.6. Setting The $LFS Variable
• 2.7. Mounting the New Partition
• 3.1. Introduction
• 4.2. Creating a Limited Directory Layout in the LFS Filesystem
• 4.3. Adding the LFS User
• 4.4. Setting Up the Environment

copy the scripts into /mnt/lfs/sources

• as the lfs user from within the sources directory run chap5-6.sh

• when prompted logout the lfs user and as the root user from within the sources directory run chroot.sh

• when prompted from within the sources directory from within the chroot environment run chap7p1.sh

• when prompted run chap7p2.sh

• when prompted run chap8p1.sh and chap8p2.sh

when prompted continue with the LFS chapters:

• 10.3. Linux-6.1.11
• 10.4. Using LFS_GRUB to Set Up the Boot Process
• 11.1. The End

if the chroot environment has been exited and needs to be re-entered use re-chroot.sh
