	Thank you all for your help. 
	Linux from scratch docs can be DL here:

ftp://ftp.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-book/3.0-pre4/LFS-BOOK-3.0-pre4-NOCHUNKS.html.bz2

It is just a 70k DL , and worth the effort. 
	Nix's reply has been printed , I will carry it around with me
until I can understand it fully.
	I downloaded the (cough) close to 50 Mb of text Warren
suggested , and will grep and grope through it until I understand
more.
	And as he and Geoffrey pointed out , the idea of linux from
scratch is to make the very basic stuff, statically linked , then you
can then carry that stuff around on a CDRom, and use it to build your
own system , tailored to your CPU/ hardware/whims. You learn much more
about the basic structure of linux, and rely less on distributions (is
Redhat really joint owned by microsoft ??? Maybe that's why they
included GCC 2.96 in version 7.0 ;)     )
	FWIW
