I have been waiting for this!! Let's go!

At the end of the video you said that you hoped it wouldn't be considered a boring stuff... I watched every single explanation with a huge expectation of this awesome masterclass... and YES I consider it a masterclass because just those who know what you're sharing can valuate it properly! Thank you Mr. Engelmann!

[risncch]

I see you've gained some "wisdom" from the last time I saw you. Great to see you again man!!

Very interesting indeed and great explanation of the boot process and different tools to boot from. I am keen to learn more about the security implications we need to be aware of while building the kernel from scratch. Also to explain where and how ASLR and non executable stacks are implemented in relation to the major operating systems, thanks again for your great work.

In the early 2000s I designed and implemented a shell script-based system to automatically build Linux From Scratch. It was a project basically to demonstrate that a shell scripting language can be used to develop non-trivial applications.

I can't begin to express my appreciation brother, just thanks.

[AmityKamstra]

your teaching style is amazing for this kind of stuff, it just feels like my dad's cool friend finally agreed to show me how a computer works

Thank you! I'm honestly so glad that a content creator like you exists and has done this series. You're truly opening the door to Linux development for thousands of people, something that's super valuable for the entire dev community. At the end of the day, we need more Linux devs than ever, you're helping create so many more!

Just found your channel, and after watching this video, I saved all your playlists to watch later. Great informative videos!

Hi Viktor!
Very cool that you make new videos :-)
Excited to watch these. I watched all of your operating system videos and built, together with a good friend, our own small operating system :-)
Kind regards,
Nils

Holy shit, did you really just shared a video after 3 years? wow! greetings!

[tedvanmatje]

I've been curious for many a year on how to do this. Thank you for posting....this is going to be interesting! :)

[kosto_magmus]

Damnit! You came back! It was like meet an old mate after 5 years.

This is a really neat idea. If you wanted to try the kvm or iot idea, lfs is still quite large. By comparison, clfs (cross linux from scratch) offers better "compile times" (the compilation is done on a separate, usually more powerful, host machine) and a much more lightweight set of packages. Following the existing ARM book is a really good starting point for building a minimal embedded "distro". Plus, if you want to extend the base set of packages, you can build a simple system usig cfls, then continue using lfs (or blfs). It would be neat to see a series on those also.

Endlich neue Videos! Ich habe genau vor einer Woche angefangen LFS zu machen!

[pseudopseudo]

All of your videos are brilliant and just what I have been looking for :D

[changeyourstrings]

Viktor! Mega, dass du wieder da bist!

[Cravenfester]

I just started wanting to learn this & am very grateful to you. I was looking at LFS and I was worried there wasn't someone experienced doing it via video. Happy trails.

After 3 years... Greetings! Keep up the good work.

[yunfengwu]

I am going to watch all of your videos, and give all of them a thumbs up~ Thank you very much, teacher!!
