Back again,
I’m about 3/4 of the way thru the first prerequisite . Feeling the first inkling of understanding of what it takes to put a command line together. Not just a single command.
I personally don’t think that the http://www.linuxhq.com/guides/LUG/guide.html could be the best one to learn from as it’s somewhat dated and I the NOOB even find many mistakes … It for one is not easy to follow, it jumps all over the place. Command examples are not with the paragraph that writes about it. They’re is sometimes three or four paragraphs away from it, with no direction or no# linking the example with the paragraph… confusing to say the least. There are mis-spelled commands. Easy for an established person to realize there’s a problem here. But, I found myself lost on many occasions following along blindly lost as to why I wasn’t getting the same answer at they get.. or getting an error about the command , only IRC and Google saved me. None the less, I’m committed to my goal of getting the knowledge I need to successfully build LFS. I’ll finish reading and making notes, and follow up with google and other pages as needed. Actually, thats probably the reason I’ll be more competent. I won’t give up… I’m making everything work before I move on so the end result is more information is sticking to my brain because of the mistakes 🙂 It is aggravating but that’s exactly why I’m retaining more info ???
I’ve been at this now about 3 weeks. I quickly read through the prerequisites only to fall flat on my face building LFS. I’ve really made the point of studying all the info pointed out in the prerequisites this time…so that I will fully comprehend what I’ve read. At this point in time , I believe that just the prerequisites will not be enough for me. We shall soon see.
