new editions of manuals (LFS) and (BLFS), as well as the LFS and BLFS editions with the systemd system manager. Linux From Scratch provides instructions for building a basic Linux system from scratch using only the source code for the required software. Beyond Linux From Scratch supplements the LFS instructions with information on building and configuring about 1000 software packages, covering applications ranging from databases and server systems to graphical shells and media players.
On Linux From Scratch 9.0 migrating to Glibc 2.30 and GCC 9.2.0. Updated 33 packages, including the Linux 5.2 kernel,
Coreutils 8.31, Eudev 3.2.8, GRUB 2.04, IPRoute2 5.2.0, Meso 0.51.1, Openssl 1.1.1c, Perl 5.30.0, Python 3.7.4, Shadow 4.7, SysVinit 2.95, Util-Linux 2.34 and Vim 8.1.184. XNUMX. Errors in boot scripts have been fixed, editorial work has been done in explanatory materials throughout the book.

In addition to LFS and BLFS, the project has previously produced several additional books:
- Β«"- a framework for automating the assembly of the LFS system and package management;
- «» - description of the cross-platform assembly of the LFS system, supported architectures: x86, x86_64, sparc, mips, PowerPC, alpha, hppa, arm;
- «» - instructions for improving the security of LFS, applying additional patches and restrictions;
- «» - a selection of additional tips describing alternative solutions for the steps described in LFS and BLFS;
