![LFS in VirtualBox](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1611077/33808510-16825dd2-dde8-11e7-9a1c-0ca0bc3ff2b5.png)

## Description

This repository contains docker configuration to build bootable iso image with [Linux From Scratch 8.1](http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/8.1/LFS-BOOK-8.1.pdf).

## Why

General idea is to learn Linux by building and running LFS system in isolation from the host system.

## Structure

Scripts are organized in the way of following book structure whenever it makes sense. Some deviations are done to make a bootable iso image.

## Build

Use the following command:

    docker rm lfs ;                                    \
    docker build --tag lfs . &&                        \
    sudo docker run -it --privileged --name lfs lfs && \
    sudo docker cp lfs:/tmp/lfs.iso .

Please note, that extended privileges are required by docker container in order to execute some commands (e.g. mount).

## Usage

Final result is bootable iso image with LFS system which, for example, can be used to load the system inside virtual machine (tested with VirtualBox).
