time ago), and would like to set up a machine which starts with just
basics of linux. After that point, I would like to install
programs as I need them. For example, if I want to learn KDE,
then only at that point would I download and install KDE.<br>
<br>
Right now the best way I have come up to do this is using Redhat Fedora
Core 4, do a minimal install, and use yum to add packages as I want
them. Does anyone know a better way to do this? I am open
to any distribution that anyone thinks would be better at this also.<br>

Thanks.<br>

<tt>I'd like to second the Linux From Scratch (linuxfromscratch.org)
idea. I'm basically self taught and it did take time, but I run LFS
6.1. LFS is command line and Beyond Linux From Scratch helps you
install X and whatever programs you choose.<br>
