Installing Debian From Scratch (DFS)

Filed under: Knowledgebase,Linux/Unix Related — Suramya @ 5:00 PM

I like Debian a lot, the only problem I have with it is that when I install it, it installs a lot of junk on the system that I don’t need.

Linux from Scratch is a distribution that fixes this problem but setting it up is too much work for me plus I really like debian and would like to stick to it. -) Fortunately for me someone else also felt the same and created DFS which allows you to create a customized install like LFS but with the Debian advantages.

Instructions on how to install Debian From Scratch are available here

I will try to install it on my system over the weekend. Will keep you posted.
