Oh, I forgot that part runs as root. I was thinking it was still the lfs user for some reason (even though mount won't work for non-root users anyway unless they refer to something in fstab). Obviously I wasn't thinking very clearly. OK, never mind. > since su'ing to root even from the lfs user the path does not carry > over, /tools/bin is lost. It will carry over unless your shell login scripts explicitly reset it. Now that's probably a fairly common thing to have the login scripts do, actually, but it's not required, and child processes (including shells) inherit anything that's exported. (By "shell login scripts" I mean ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, and/or /etc/profile.) But what it *won't* do is carry over from the lfs user's shell (the one that su started right after the lfs user was created) to the root shell (the shell that ran su). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHX13nS5vET1Wea5wRA4UfAJ4h6DGr7oV3saIAMc26Lr0z2gpn1gCg3tVs nbUYx8axDytXbJozB4F0JCI= =iFpj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
