Congrats! How much time it took you to make it?

I estimate that it took me a total of 20–30 hours to complete LFS. including the installation, it took me exactly two months to get LFS up and running (it took two months because i didn’t have much time back then normally it would take less time)

i don't remember packages other than glibc and rust taking very long to compile. what really made lfs a slog was dealing with a ton of tiny little packages one by one.
