I would love to see this updated with information on building a realtime Linux (which is now officially supported). I have in mind some hand-held devices that would be a lot more interesting to build with realtime support.

Re: Linux from Scratch
#162My last LFS build was a couple of years ago and took 3-4 weeks, I decided to do a SVR4-themed distro for fun. This meant using the heirloom packaging tools (pkginfo/pkgadd/pkgrm etc) to package everything and I made the default desktop CDE with antialiased fonts. Loads of fun and nostalgia.

#163Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Reading and actually understanding non-trivial text is hard if you are part of a generation that was never challenged to actually learn it. I don't think this is fair to say. Could be said for the generation after me. Maybe not. I think this kind of sweeping generalisation is not fair on any generation though. There are motivated and lazy people in all generations, as there are people with good/bad attention spans.…
You tried (and failed) to install Arch many many times, based on YT, and you have not even considered that there might be some kinds of helpful resources directly from Arch outside of YT. Sorry to say that, and even more sorry that you'll probably not even understand what I mean, but this actually doesn't need any further comments.
I was 13 and had never touched any OSS software in my entire life give me a break.

You're speaking about this as if it happened yesterday. This experience happened over a decade ago. I am not a teenager, and I am now accustomed to reading and actually learning on the internet. Don't fault me or my entire attention span for some minor, naïve behaviour/mistake I made as a teenager.

#164How up to date is this? When trying to learn by copy-pasting from the internet, I sometimes get tripped up over older/newer Linuxes using different versions of commands or best practices. (e.g. ipconfig vs. ifconfig, iptables vs. successors)
It is up to date. I successfully built an LFS system this week by following the guide.
