Is there a paper out there somewhere that describes LFS? I've read the
relevant man pages, and they didn't give me quite enough, whereas I wouldn't
be able to usefully follow the source.

I'm interested in soft updates or a JFS, but if LFS provides similar stability
I'd like to check it out both for home and for some projects at work - if I
can demonstrate greater stability using LFS, I might be able to convert an
existing GNU/Linux shop into a NetBSD shop.

Thanks in advance!
