That's a personal thing. I like the gptfdisk interface better.
Functionally they can both handle GPTs.
I did spend a day looking at what Jeremy H did in 2007 to build the
iso. I'm really quite impressed. He has about 220 packages there, a
GUI, internationalization, etc. The problem is that the Makefile
needs all the application versions and build instructions updated
manually. What I had in mind was to take a jhalfs build and copy the
binaries into place for building the iso. I still may be able to do
the new iso, but I've gotten busy with the daily update process
(currently KDE which takes some time). I'd probably need to dedicate
at least a week to get things right.
I am maintaining a live distribution based on Linux from Scratch since
2009. This distribution has little to no street credibility in the open
source world, but is used as base system for some commercial rescue
systems, virus scan systems, forensics or deployment tools -
http://blog.lesslinux.org/. The stable base gets updated about once per
year, the latest stable from September 2015 uses kernel and headers 4.1,
glibc 2.19 and GCC 5.2. I am currently in process of updating to kernel
4.4, glibc 2.24 and gcc 6.2 - basically the current LFS unstable. Also
LessLinux currently is 32 bit only (with a 64 bit kernel automatically
selected on appropriate hardware), I guess first 64 bit builds will be
available in October.
There is a live DVD image used to build self containing builds of
LessLinux ("BigFatFullJabba"). This can be used to build recent LFS:
http://download.lesslinux.org/incoming/lesslinux-bigfatfull-jabba-20150929-112124.iso
- a new Jabba build will be ready next week, the September 2015 build
can be used to build LFS 7.6 to 7.10. With more than 800 packages it
includes lots of BLFS stuff. And some naming and path layouts do not
exactly comply with LFS. Thus I would suggest that I do build some
complete BLFS plus editors, archival tools, screen, sshd, distcc -
basically just enough to have a comfortable command line only system for
building LFS. Then I combine it with the live CD scripts of LessLinux
and you get a live system that is very close to vanilla LFS while still
compatible to most of the hardware out there.
Of course anyone interested can just use the Jabba build, but at 5G it
is really big and even does not fit on a DVD5...
Regards,
Mattias
