I don't agree, at least not in my case. Yes, I did do an LFS install, |
| 9 |
but after the first few compiles it became a purely mechanical process |
| 10 |
where I was entering commands off the howto blindly and not really |
| 11 |
comprehending what was happening. |

|

A stage 1 on the other hand, was just enough thinking about it and what |
| 14 |
might happen, then let the process rip ahead. I was still interested |
| 15 |
enough to pay real attention to the outpout on screen and learn from |
| 16 |
it. |
