At this point I don't remember exactly where it was that I lost confidence as to whether I was logged in as the right user. Never mind, maybe this was just something I missed in the book, rather than any lack of clarity in the book itself.
I didn't want to take the "risk" of trashing my boot with a grub accident. And since I had a perfectly serviceable grub already my aim was to get LFS up using that. LFS minus the grub seems reasonable to me. Dale Ogilvie -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
