ps: After my first 'successful' LFS build. I find out I had strange network bugs, curl/wget wouldn't work, while elinks would but with console formatting bugs (offsets and reverse video). It was both frustrating and fascinating at the same time.
Now imagine the effort that has to go into making Debian work or what if the issue was related to sporadic kernel crashes. It's a lot of fun if you're into that sort of thing.
Agreed and that's exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for in LFS and I couldn't find. I don't blame the team too much it's already fun the way it is; but it's confusing nonetheless.
