Today I began my second approach to LFS: I'm trying to build a pure 64 bit OS based on the kernel 3.1.4. The first approach (sufficiently smooth and fully successful) was from and for a 32 bit OS. The version of the book being used is 7.0. The host distribution is Ubuntu version 64 bit 11.10 (it

Sorry to disturb with my simple problem. I would like to repeat my formative (and successful) experience with LFS-book 6.8 building, using the much waited LFS-book 7.0 stable on my 64bit PC. Have you any idea about the date when it will be downloadable? Many thanks. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/

RESOLVED!!! The suggestion to use BLFS SVN as a progressive complement to LFS-6.8 has been successfull, at least as regards GPM 1.20.6, that could be installed without any patch (and actually works well). Thanks again. Giorgio Cittadini 2011/8/18 Giorgio Cittadini : > Thanks for y

Hello, As you easily will understand I'm a little more than a Linux newbie, but I can "talk" sufficiently well to my OS from the command line. I'm following LFS-BOOK 6.8. Everything went successfully until section 6.2. My host is Ubuntu 11.4. All the host's prerequisites are OK. No error in "make"
