Pls. forgive me if it is top-posting or something else. I always liked Srinivasan's openness to give out / share his knowledge, and when he is willing to give / teach / train etc, fully, let us (atleast me) take his full share (that would give more satisfaction to him, as we always get the feeling - I am a sales person selling ABB products).
In a nut shell - let him decide the hours and the agenda - staggered or one full shot - and like as any shishya, we will leave this to the guru. If my point is wrong partially / fully - please forgive me. I too am interested in knowing this LFS. Thanks for this opportunity Srini, with warm regards s.sivakumar bharadhwaj 98848 7817 On Thu, Oct 10, 2013 at 12:43 PM, Arun Venkataswamy <arun...@gmail.com>wrote: > On Tue, Oct 8, 2013 at 7:35 PM, Shrinivasan T <tshriniva...@gmail.com > >wrote: > > > Linux from Scratch describes the process of creating your own Linux > > system from scratch from an already installed Linux distribution, > > using nothing but the source code of software that you need. > > > > > My entire knowledge of the "GNU" "Linux" System is thanks to LFS.
