The only issue I'd raise with LFS in this day and age is that many of |
23 |
these guides tend to leave out stuff like devtmpfs, udev, policykit, |
24 |
and so on. Some people choose not to use them (this list probably |
25 |
being one of the larger collections of such folks), but it is |
26 |
increasingly important to understand how modern distros actually |
27 |
operate. |

Are there any LFS-like guides that actually utilize dbus/etc? |
