I have completed my build using the new Chapter 5 methodology. It went perfectly. It booted to the proper command prompt, network worked, no warnings or errors. I've only checked the gcc test log and will check the others tonight. What else needs to be checked? Looking at the descriptions of the commands that have changed, everything seems to do the right thing. Of course there could be some latent hidden errors, but I don't know how I'd check for that. It might be good to build/test on a 32-bit system. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
