New description:
In LFS:
{{{
It is also a good idea to create a file to show the status of your new
system with respect to the Linux Standards Base (LSB). To create this
file, run:
cat > /etc/lsb-release << "EOF"
DISTRIB_ID="Linux From Scratch"
DISTRIB_RELEASE="7.5-rc1"
DISTRIB_CODENAME="<your name here>"
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux From Scratch"
EOF
}}}
If someone does not do that, after installing in BLFS (no mention to
configuration, there):
{{{
$ lsb_release -a
LSB Version: n/a
Distributor ID: n/a
Description: 7.5-rc1
Release: n/a
Codename: n/a
}}}
If the configuration was done in LFS:
{{{
$ lsb_release -a
LSB Version: n/a
Distributor ID: Linux From Scratch
Description: Linux From Scratch
Release: 7.5-rc1
Codename: lfs-jhalfs
}}}
