Yes, but it's also a Lot of Work...and there is no guarantee that other
stuff (newer RPMs) will drop in (come to think of it...now you have NO
Package Management).
And I was very disappointed with "how much you can learn". Many things
were glossed over, or just stated "as is" without telling you WHY, (such
as the compiler config files). Anyone who spent any time compiling GNU
software under Solaris/HP-UX/Irix/etc at the end of the last millennium
would know pretty much the same things that you learn from LFS.
There isn't THAT much difference between Minimal and Reasonably Small.
