[lfs-support] /tools directory
Greetings. Working my way through my first build of LFS 7.4. I'm wondering, after building and installing all of the packages in Chapter 6, can the /tools directory be deleted? I see that find and strip are used in Section 6.65, but we have new copies of those in /bin and /usr/bin. Also, regarding backing up prior to stripping, is it ok to exclude all of dev, proc, and sys from the backup. I'm thinking something like: tar --exclude=dev --exclude=proc --exclude=sys --exclude=sources \ -cjvPf lfs-7.4.tar.bz2 /mnt/lfs Is that reasonable?

Re: [lfs-support] /tools directory
But why do you still use /tools/bin/ for bash, file, & strip on page 202?

You don't want to back up any virtual filesystems. Exclude /run, /proc, /sys, and /dev. Excluding sources is optional. You can always recover those. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page-- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Section 6.65, Stripping Again uses /tools/bin/bash when re-entering the chroot environment and then /tools/bin/find and /tools/bin/strip. I don't suppose it matters, but I was just wondering if there was any particular reason that you don't use the bash, find and strip that have been installed in the new permanent directories. - Joel -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

[lfs-support] init script question
I've been wondering about the case statement in S00mountvirtfs that mounts the virtual filesystems. if ! mountpoint /run >/dev/null; then mount /run || failed=1 and similar commands for proc sys and dev. I understand what the mountpoint lines are doing, but "mount /run" puzzles me. There are no fstab entries for these filesystems, so I would expect "mount [device] [mountpoint]". Why does that command work without the [device] parameter? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
