None here and no offence taken at anty time. I am really pleased to see that you now understand the directory structure and by now should be weel on the way with the Chapter 5 compiles. To give you a little forwarning of the areas where things can go wrong you may like to consider the following: A) Host System Requirements: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/prologue/hostreqs.html If in your haste to start the LFS Build you skipped this section I urge you to pause your activity and run the version-check.sh script. If your system is not fully compatable some issues can (will) emerge as you progress through the build. B) 6.4. Entering the Chroot Environment http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter06/chroot.html On this page you will find an important note on the precautions to take if you have to interrupt your build and exit the chroot for any reason such as a system reboot. C) FInally and this is not actually covered in the book. You will be investing considerable time into the build and it is all too easy to go wrong requiring a restart right back to the begining. Some people take this on the chin as part of the price of the project. I like to make and keep backups of the LFS partition after every couple of compiles and at least after the really long ones so that I have conveneint restart points in the event of a disaster. Once again good luck with your build ... I hope you find it an enjoyable project.
