I don't know if there will be any much interest for anyone to get a lfs
going on 386BSD (I wouldn't recommend that anyone run 386BSD anymore,
given how unstable it is compared to FreeBSD and NetBSD).
When FreeBSD 2.0 becomes available, it will be possible to use the
4.4BSD lfs, but gauging from the 4.4BSD-Lite release announcement which
Keith Bostic posted to the net, lfs is not yet properly debugged, and
may not yet be stable. (FreeBSD 2.0 will be (or should I say "is"?)
based on the 4.4BSD-Lite tape from Berkeley, with a lot of stuff pulled
in from FreeBSD 1.x.) I can't say for sure when release 2.0 will be
available, although some folks are really keen to get an alpha snapshot
going ASAP.
Thus, at least initially, it looks like a bit more hacking will be
needed to get lfs going properly, although I'm sure everyone will be
keen to use it.
Geoff.
