(No Title)

Well, I’m building Linux From Scratch (LFS) again, where you compile a “bootstrap” system (a system built to build a system, so to speak) and then compile a fully-functional Linux system on top of the temporary system.  It’s cool, and it’s working better this time (as in, actually working).  I’m building the C Standard Libraries for the third time now (the first is statically-linked, the second is dynamically-linked temporary, and this is the permanent dynamic link build).

I’m starting to issue two-line command line commands without even thinking about it, so I’m quickly on the upper side of intermediate when it comes to proficiency.  It’s been hard work, but it’s good stuff.
