Hi Lennon, Tks for your advice,
> Go read the book again. You wouldn't be having this problem if you'd > read and followed Chapter 4. I checked my notes against "Section 4.3. Adding the LFS User" of the book. I completed running follows; # chown -v lfs $LFS/tools # chown -v lfs $LFS/sources But # ls -l $LFS total 28 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2005-12-26 17:19 home drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2005-12-26 17:19 lost+found drwxrwxrwt 4 lfs root 4096 2005-12-26 18:44 sources drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-12-26 17:28 tools Only /sources changed not /tools as well. I re-ran # chown -v lfs $LFS/tools # ls -l $LFS total 28 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2005-12-26 17:19 home drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2005-12-26 17:19 lost+found drwxrwxrwt 4 lfs root 4096 2005-12-26 18:44 sources drwxr-xr-x 2 lfs root 4096 2005-12-26 17:28 tools Now "make install" went through without complaint. I could not find out its cause. I'm running LFS LiveCD-6.1.1.2 as host. Anyway tks again. BR SL Futhermore what will be the use of the password? On running "su - lfs" it did not request for password.
