Hello,
I just want to report a successful installation of lfs 8.4 according book
instructions, overall without problems. That is my second build after
years. But now I am impressed of size of the base system.
Just tool directory after competing chapter 5 and stripping reached 1,9 GB .
The full system is 2GB excluding tool and source directories.
For me that is too much for a base system. Is that build specific or the
programs sizes are grown over the years?
In comparison Debian  9.8  base install and base-devel tot up ca 900 MB.

With regards
