Welcome to Linux From Scratch!

Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own custom Linux system, entirely from source code.

Currently, the Linux From Scratch organization consists of the following subprojects:

• LFS :: Linux From Scratch is the main book, the base from which all other projects are derived.
• BLFS :: Beyond Linux From Scratch helps you extend your finished LFS installation into a more customized and usable system.
• ALFS :: Automated Linux From Scratch provides tools for automating and managing LFS and BLFS builds.
• MLFS :: Multilib-LFS is a variant of LFS that builds a system which is able to execute 32-bit binaries.
• GLFS :: Gaming Linux From Scratch is based on BLFS and helps you install gaming support software like Steam or Wine on a new LFS or MLFS system.
• Hints :: The Hints project is a collection of documents that explain how to enhance your LFS system in ways that are not included in the LFS or BLFS books.
• Patches :: The Patches project serves as a central repository for all patches useful to an LFS user.
• LFS Editor's Guide :: A document that describes the LFS development process.
• Museum :: Copies of ancient LFS and BLFS versions.
