I know I told Bryan I would post my build and findings on this. So here they are.
This version builds with the newest glibc and compliers with no issues, that's the reason for it. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/syslinux-3.73-pre7.tar.bz2 Building and Installing make installer && make install && cp /usr/share/syslinux/vesamenu.c32 /boot Depending on the architecture, this will either build the full system or just the installers for the other architectures. Cross Compiling this package will take major modifications, this is something that is not needed for LFS. Configuring cat >> /boot/extlinux.conf << "EOF" default vesamenu.c32 prompt 0 menu title LFS Boot Menu timeout 600 label linux menu label LFS Kernel {Version} menu default kernel lfskernel-{Version} append rw root={/dev of root partition} EOF extlinux --install /boot dd if=/dev/zero of={/dev to root drive} bs=446 count=1 dd if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of={/dev to root drive} Has the same functionality as Grub, you can change the boot commands without editing the file. Has a very advanced file system. I was pleasantly surprised. Some one that isn't color blind could probably make the colors look better. I also recommend looking at this links for some more ideas on what to do with it. http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Menu http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2006-September/007342.html -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
