I didn't like the network scripts, especially the ifconfig.* directory structure. It seemed too complex, especially for my needs. I looked at some Linux books to see other ways to set up network cards. I finally decided to have a configuration file, in my case, /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.d/ath0, ho

Some notes as I attempt to make the lfs bootscripts more wireless-friendly: Currently the networking scripts allow only for one default gateway. However, each interface should have it's own. When trying to do that manually with ip, it bombs. Since I still prefer net-tools I decided to try it with

This question is mostly for Manuel, of course, if anyone else knows the answer... Currently, with the multi-arch books, from what I can see, we render the *whole* LFS book once for each architecture into separate sub directories. Obviously this takes x as many times as longer as the previous L
