I assume you meant chown, not chmod but what I said holds. mkdir /LFS chroot /LFS #Pretend there's a shell etc. chown -R 0.0 * .* #There were some dotfiles This resulted in my entire directory structure being owned by root - which broke quite a bit of stuff. Came across a reference a few months ago indicating this was the 'correct' behaviour for Linux. Brian
