So are you saying I have to use .deb files to build a lfs linux box and not able tyo just install and compile without a host linux box.
I'm not to cool about using a host linux box to start the files to build my new linux box, but it looks like I may have to do it that way. Once I got just the few files compiled on a host linux box to start the lfs box, I could recompile the same files on the lfs box to replace the ones I had to start with from the host linux box. I just don't feel all the directories on the premade linux system are needed and I will feel better when I put together my own linux box without the bloat and other crap they stick in the distro's that are out there. There are so much stuff I don't need on my linux box, such as .mono/.net files and other files unneeded. I think when I get my new box built, all this type of work should come back to me soon enough as it's been almost 10 years since I have done this type of stuff but it was with unix though.
