After around 2 or 3 months of my first ever install of Linux From Scratch,
|
|
I had an question: how do I install <application>Steam</application> on
|
|
this? After some time, I went for Beyond Linux From Scratch, a very great
|
|
book that covered most of what I both wanted and needed, but my
|
|
<application>Steam</application> question never got answered. So I just
|
|
tried to install the <application>Steam</application> tarball and I went
|
|
down the rabbit hole.

<para>
|
|
Beyond Linux From Scratch didn't show how so I felt alone and on my own.
|
|
I learned shortly after my attempt that I need multilib, and Bruce Dubbs
|
|
saw my email and responded quite promptly saying to go to Thomas' Multilib
|
|
mirror. This made all the difference, but now I needed to find out all the
|
|
packages to install, all the configuration.

Rahul Chandra in the same thread mentioned his scripts for his distro,
|
|
Tucana. These scripts helped so much, even if all the scripts were
|
|
presented all at once. Once I had got <application>Steam</application>
|
|
to work, I realized that in some way, somehow, I must share how I did it
|
|
and to help others with a single comprehensive guide.

<para>
|
|
At some point, I also decided to try to get Wine to work. I was successful.
|
|
I, again like with <application>Steam</application> before, wanted to share
|
|
the process. Rahul reached out to me, and that led to this book's creation
|
|
and editing.

Thank you, and I hope this helps you.
