You need another linux distro because it resolves circular dependencies. Unless your windows has bash and gcc, you need a linux distro. :) I'm doing a Linux From Scratch as we speak, so if you don't mind waiting I can let you know how it goes. I'd probably recommend installing Slack or Debian and tinkering with it for a bit before doing LFS, if you aren't used to UNIX commands. The LFS documentation appears to be really great, but if you don't know what cd and ln do, it might be a little confusing. If you do know UNIX commands, go ahead and dive in. :) Lorry What a fine Sun, May 26, 2002 at 05:08:14PM -0700 it was when Matt Waters said: > Does anyone know if LinuxFromScratch can be done using windows as opposed to building it on an already functional Linux system?
