sud_crow Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 (edited) Finally! LFS 5.0 has been released today! Here is the official announcement: Gerard Beekmans - 2003/11/05 The Linux From Scratch community is pleased to announce the release of LFS-5.0. This major milestone features a new method with strong emphasis on building a correct compilation environment and base libraries independent from the host system. Release 5.0 features the Linux kernel version 2.4.22, the GNU C Library (glibc) 2.3.2, the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) 3.3.1 and a bootloader change from LILO to GRUB, amongst other package upgrades. The book's explanatory texts have also been enhanced, providing an even richer learning experience while you build your own customised, hand-crafted Linux installation. wooohoooo!, now i only need some pkg management for it!
