As to the size in the foreword - I think you are probably correct. I think the size was correct a long time ago, but I suspect that it has been a lot bigger for several years - I haven't been interested in a minimal build for a long time, and I normally only build x86_64, so I've no idea what space a reasonable current minimum system would use. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
