After jhalfs completed, I followed the instructions to chroot and set the root passwd. I used:
/usr/sbin/chroot "$LFS" /usr/bin/env -i \ HOME=/root TERM=linux PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin \ /bin/bash --login It's been a while and I don't remember -- The login is in / and not /root. IS that normal? I can't use less or passwd. less displays the file and immediately terminates. passwd gives: # passwd Changing password for root Enter the new password (minimum of 5 characters) Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. Bad password: too short. Warning: weak password (enter it again to use it anyway). Password changed. With no chance of typing the password. man gives: man: command exited with status 256: less -s This looks like a terminal problem to me. I have tried a TERM of linux and xterm. I have LANG=C. vim works fine, including color. I can work around these issues of course, but I'd like to use the tools via chroot. Any ideas? Does this impact the book or is it just my forgetfulness? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
