I went through the LFS process back in 2003 or 2004. I didn't have a Linux system handy, so I built it with Fedora 3 running under VMWare on a Windows XP laptop. It was not speedy.

I tried to automate the process as much as possible. There's a separate Automated Linux From Scratch project, but I choose to roll my own. This was my first experience with Bash scripts -- I developed skills (and bad habits) that I continue to use this day.
