That box as actually a VM running inside VirtualBox which is running on a physical install of PCLinuxOS 2007. The CD is working nicely in this setup. I am building using only the CD as my host. The build process does not know of any other host or resources. I copied all the source files from the CD into /mnt/lfs/sources I am following the book as it is written. The only exception was I used kernel 2.6.27.7 . I am either reading the book incorrectly or I am finding flaws in the flow of the material in the book. I am not saying the people writting the book don't know what they are doing. I am saying the people writting the book probably know this stuff so well they accidentally leave stuff out or get things out of sync just enough to cause problems for people like me who are depending on the book to guide me. I am not complaining, I am thrilled to be doing this whole thing and will contribute to making the book a little cleaner/easier to understand from a prospective of someone not so familiar with the process, once I have completed a successful build. -- Stealth -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
