The reason it seg faults is because I've chrooted to LFS, so the solution is not to chroot. I mount the LFS disks and the required file systems and update the packages from the tar archives using a script run on the host. Seems to work fine. Can you see any problem with that? The reason I didn't install using tar from the tar files is because I use the package user management system and I was a bit worried about trampling over the uids and gids. I created the tar files preserving the file ownership, but I still wanted to test what was going to be installed before doing a copy or install. Belt and braces I guess. jb. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
