Every GNU/Linux distro provides software packages to install additional applications. UmVirt LFS is not an exception.
The main purpose of the "UmVirt LFS Packages" service is package installing assistance. Linux from scratch is not a typical distro where binary source packages are offered to the user. Vanilla LFS offers source packages without compilation automation. User have to download, unpack, configure, build and install packages manualy."UmVirt LFS Packages" service helps users install packages and all their dependaces like other distros. But, it compiles them from source code.
To download, unpack, compile, build and install the "Midnight Commander" package with all it's dependances, just type:
wget --no-check-cerificate https://ulfs.org/linux/packages/0.1/mc/install -O - | bash
Tip: To make this process even easier, you can use UmVirt LFS Assistant!
Not a thing in LFS. Removing packages can get messy. Similar to a smartphone's operating system, router firmware, or other devices with Linux firmware. You should avoid removing installed packages directly. Better to reinstall system software entirely.
Warning: Manual deletion of files can cause errors and even system damage!
