Documentation

Linux From Script (or 'LFScript') version 4 is an unofficial alternative for 'Automated Linux From Scratch'. LFScript includes thoroughly tested scripts generated from the LFS and BLFS books, which can easily be edited to modify the installation of any package (if you would want to).

When you are satisfied with the scripts, running LFScript will create for each of the selected applications a simple package archive. All archives combined make up your new GNU/Linux operating system. You can instruct LFScript to install the OS on your computer or you can save them to (for example) a USB drive to install them on another computer. LFScript also includes scripts which will combine all your packages and create a Live CD/DVD from them.
