Oh believe me, Randy. I build remotely too (I have my server in the datacenter, plus my home server that I only have access to via SSH), and even if the default position of the book was to take the reboot method, the chroot method could easily be documented in a hints format. There wouldn't be so much deviation from the reboot method to the chroot method that documenting it as a hint wouldn't be feasible, and if it comes to that, I volunteer to write and maintain the hint.
It does. But it is a far cry from the original post by Jim a few hours ago where the book will have *one* method of building, which includes rebooting into the 'tools' host.
As long as there is provisions to build remotely, using a known good host, there is only positives to be gained from the new method. However, this isn't what was mentioned by Jim.
I'm glad this discussion has come about. At least there is concern about building remotely out in the open. And by building remotely, this to me means being able to shell into a box and build LFS without rebooting.
