This build system tracks Linux From Scratch 8.2-systemd.

This is a build system based on https://github.com/baho-utot/LFS-RPM.git

In the copy that I forked, the author had built the toolchain from Chapter 5, but then used that system to try and build the finished RPMS. I am taking the approach of building the Chapter 5 toolchain and the Chapter 6 system with shell scripts, then using the completed Chapter 6 system to build the RPM packages.

• The MyLFS build system is installed to /usr/src/mylfs by default
• Edit the config.inc file
• As root, execute ./build-lfs.sh

The script will carry out the following:

• Format and mount the partition on which the system will be built
• Add the LFS user
• Download the packages
• Copy the build system scripts and sources to the new partition
• Build the LFS toolchain
• chroot into the build environment and build the base LFS system

Now that the base LFS system is complete, it's time to make some design decisions.

At some point, I will make an attempt at LSB 5.0 Compliance.

For MyLFS, I've decided to use UEFI booting and GPT hard disks. LFS has instructions on using the GRUB2 bootloader. I have decided to use the systemd-boot boot manager. Using this requires some extra packages and some changes to the LFS book instructions. The new packages are:

• dosfstools-4.1
• efivar-36
• pciutils-3.5.6
• efibootmgr-16
• gnu-efi-3.0.8

MyLFS will use Plymouth on an initrd to start a graphical splash screen to hide the text mode boot sequence and transfer control to the X display manager after which will provide a graphical login.

MyLFS will use systemd, instead of SysV init.

Right now, I am running MyLFS inside a VM with an emulated e1000 NIC.
