Hmm, LFS does more than just patch and compile the kernel, MFS is about more than installing, and lo and behold, the statement that BLFS goes a bit further is understated... LFS takes the user on a journey that builds linux and all of the programs it installs from source in a logical dependency concious fashion and in later phases it's entirely self hosting. We're not talking about just the kernel, either, we're talking about the entire toolchain and every utility and application as well. MFS will go deeper into the mechanics of the bootstrap, loader, the OS design itself, IPC, Processes, Scheduling, etc. while also covering mundane things like prep, build and install. BLFS goes into how to build a slew of other programs using source code only, including X. Hints, which can also be considered a part of BLFS, goes into how to build, configure and install hundreds of apps, including Shells, Security Modules, Loggers, etc. Opinion is fine, facts are more gooder :)
