I did also 6.1.1 from nearly cut and paste, and it went smoothly. I was nearly disapointed : I thought I would have more problems to fix, and I could show how bright I am :-) (joke) Then a few problems with blfs, stuff like openoffice requiring ldap from firefox, but no real big problem, and nothing that the couldn't help with. > > IMO the book is very good, but it's not for newbies. I was quite a newbie (at least I thought I was when I tried it) but it went ok. Just a bit of logic : of course they don't tell you "unpack this there" and "vi is a text editor". but all explanantions are just precise and clear. I learned a lot doing it. Now I'm not a newbie anymore thanks to this lfs ! And yes, a package manager may be nice.
