Hello all, 1. I just saw the LFS site and would like to try it but can't see the section that says how to download the source file packages ready to work through the programme.
2. I'd also like to know which LIVE CD/DVD you can recommend to use as a base that satisfies all the criteria from the script on the host requirements page (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/prologue/hostreqs.html) as all the distro's I've chosen (major ones like Kubuntu, CentOS, Gentoo, etc) all fail on one or more element. Some of them fail on BISON while others on GCC, a package I suspect to be rather important in this endeavour. 3. I recently bought a new computer with no OS on it just for installing Linux on it and learning more about it so LFS seemed to be ideal. It's a new platform with UEFI instead of the older BIOS a 3TB HDD. I read that on drives like this, the old fdisk tool is insufficient but the only instructions I've seen in the manual are for the older, fdisk programme. I read something about needing to install a FAT32 partition at the start or something like that but wasn't sure if this was right or not as I know that FS is quite different to any *nix based filesystems. I realise there are a few different points here but would appreciate some help on this to get me started. Thanks in advance.
