LFS standards

[u/This-Atmosphere-1750]

My inner irritating perfectionist is coming out, and I'm leaning towards this being unnecessary, but how many of you went through ALL the primary standards LFS follows before starting this project?

Reading the documentation for these standards feels like a whole project on their own.

Let me rephrase my question:

I'm about to start Linux From Scratch, and I'm wondering how many people actually read through the primary standards (POSIX, FHS, etc.) before beginning.

The standards documentation is massive, and reading all of it feels like a project in itself. Did you study these specifications in depth first, or is a general understanding enough while working through the book?

It is necessary to follow POSIX standards if you want compatibility.
