ok guys, finally i have completed the build with a minimal GUI, used XFCE desktop environment, and took 20-25hrs after the LFS Command prompt build was complete (the previous one), max time was took by the debugging of errors and repairing them..

Firstly, compiled and build the X-Windows System (X-org) for the minimalistic GUI:

Next compiled and build the XFCE for a desktop environment:

@Ratul: Good job! Can you write a tutorial of each step you did in developing your distro, right from the starting? It will be helpful for others too.

Now days i am studying OS as it is in my MCA course. Its very hard to imagine like writing code for managing threads. I want to start something like this, but understanding simple things are taking time for me, writing code for OS is impossible for now. From where to start. I am going to download books form LFS website. Let's see

there's no code usage in this, all you need to know is how to compile the packages, which is well presented in the book...

yes, but it's a good thing, everything is given in such a detail, that building a Linux distro does'nt seem to be that hard after going through the book once, the content of the book is quite good and informative..

you gone through all books given there?

no, only the LFS and BLFS one's, LFS book needs to be completed in order to build the basic system, and BLFS helps to add utilities to it (GUI, browsers, security, multimedia etc.)..
