STOP YOUR FUCKING BITCHING ANDREWS. It is obvious to everyone EXCEPT you that you do not know what you are talking about. Just because you can not do it, does not mean that others are as DUMB as you. I personally have had a guts full of chest thumping assholes like you spouting that you use a package manager from another distro. Big fucking deal. Stick with the distro that created it and stop plastering all over linux from scratch lists about it. I do not give a FUCK about distros that use package managers. Leave lfs/blfs alone with that fucking garbage. People like you should be banned from internet access for LIFE.
