Hello all, How would one achieve that ? I recently built a LFS system on a 64-bit host, and all binaries turned out to be 64-bit. I'd like to build and run a 32-bit LFS system. Is there a way of doing that on a 64-bit host ? - thanks for any suggestions/hints/comments. -- http://linuxfrom

Hi all, LFS system works fine but, how would it be possible to give abck control to the machine after a halt of the system is made ? By this I mean, when the system is issued 'halt' it will indeed halt, VmWare does not seem so perceive that the system has stopped running, the result being that
