A new version of LFS LiveCD (6.3-r2145) is available for download: http://kerrek.linuxfromscratch.org/pub/lfs-livecd/
As usual, the CD is available for x86 and x86_64 architectures. The CD contains the LFS book (version 6.3 for x86 CD, and its unofficial x86_64 equivalent for x86_64), and a lot of software that you need to build your own LFS system, ask for support and perform various recovery tasks. The -min CD contains only text-mode environment, -nosrc adds X window system and the Xfce desktop, while the full CD also contains all source tarballs. If the old 6.3-r2130 CD works for you, there is no need to upgrade, as the changes are minimal: * jhalfs (a tool for automating the LFS build) was patched so that it now checks host requirements correctly (with r2130, it was unusable in French locales, because it extracted findutils version incorrectly and thought that it was too old) * some dead symlinks were removed * module-init-tools manual pages are now installed in the correct location * documentation has been updated with instructions how to change the default boot arguments, and a recommendation has been added for visually-impaired users to do this instead of typing long boot command lines blindly in (unfamiliar to some of them) US English keyboard layout. -- Alexander E. Patrakov P.S. I am really disappointed that I still have to patch jhalfs manually instead of just updating it, even though the issue has been reported (with patch!) 3 weeks ago: http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/alfs-discuss/2007-November/009609.html. Is the ALFS project dead? The last commit was 2 months ago. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
