You're a hero for even contemplating such a thing. If you build it people will use it. It will be a lot of work and as you've already found out, people will ask you to support things that you've never even thought. On the plus side, you get to be the big cheese in your own project. If you start from another distro like Ubunut you'll have to do a lot of work getting to know how they work. An alternative is to resurrect the moribund LFS LiveCD. I think doing that would have a very steep initial learning curve but once you got an initial version working you'd be working from an LFS base so you wouldn't need to learn about another distro. Personally, I'd just run away if I were you ;) Andy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
