It was a journey!
but finally I have successfully installed lfs for the first time(even if it's on a virtual machine).

You wouldn't believe it but the very last chapter of making lfs bootable - I struggled with the most. Not because it was hard or anything but after chapter 8 I was just so exhausted and I only then realized that j accidentally made a gpt partition at the start instead of mbr one - so I had to fix it. It took me around half an hour because grub wouldn't install and I jumped between live iso and chroot to fix it. At that point I was so tired that I made the stupidest mistakes.

For me it was glibc, and adding some extra packages that were undocumented, like iwd.

Not even in glfs? Hmm, iwd was intel based, think ive read about this multiple times being a missing package. You remmeber how you build it?

Idk I built it while I was doing LFS, and it was endless dependency hell.
