Hello,

Thanks for your great job.

I running your script without errors. The IMG file was generate with 10GB.

I used DD to generate ISO file from IMG file, but on the test on Virtual Box the message "Not bootable medium found..." appear.

The old zlib link (https://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.12.tar.xz) is 404, I attempted to replace it with the newer version in packages.sh but that leads to tar not begin able to find it, where else do I change the package?

Getting to "Downloading packages to /mnt/lfs/sources...", sits there for a couple of minutes then returns me to the terminal prompt. No errors or warnings.

Checking system dependencies... done.
Creating image file... done.
Creating basic directory layout... done.
Downloading packages to /mnt/lfs/sources... 

Ubuntu 21.10

When running the initial build.sh script, I get the following errors:
Checking system dependencies... ERROR: ld does not satisfy minimum version 2.13.1 ERROR: gcc does not satisfy minimum version 4.8 ERROR: g++ does not satisfy minimum version 4.8 ERROR: /usr/bin/yacc needs to be a link to /usr/bin/bison.yacc done.
But when I run version-check.sh from the official lfs book (https://linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter02/hostreqs.html), I don't get any errors:

This is running from a fresh install on endeavour os.

There is no "Discussion" section so typing here.

It is a preatty well made script for making a LFS image.
But i have some thoughts and ideas that can be done here.

1. I think it would be better to have a option of build iso or img (depending of needs of person) or even combine both with SquashFS. What do you think of this?
2. Chunk of script is pretty good at handling modules or aka additional phases. What if script will have ability to build BLFS and even CLFS? And also person can deside what packages he want by providing something like config name which will be a txt with packages from blfs/clfs he/she wants to install. How about that?
3. Making a named file structure can be hard for some people, when put in a folder like structure is much easier to operate.... Idk, maybe it's only hard for me, but having a folder-like stucture for static and templates will be easier for me. (If path detection is an issue, find command is for help)

Currently i'll create a separate branch for making BLFS posible and will fix some folder naming to make it easier. Maybe i'll edit function to be universal for this task...

Maybe you have some thoughts to make something for this to be usefull?

First: need to fix a phrase sudo ./build.sh to sudo ./mylfs.sh
Second: there is an error at the beginning when it not creating pkgs folder.
Third: it would be perfect if there was a table with Phases and Instructions for some people. This will allow to analyse more on which phase do what.
