I'm building the development version. Since I didn't want to lose my work in case I had to backtrack (slight RTFM problem, you know) I backed up my build environment at chapters 5.34 and 6.61. I ran into boot problems when finished, so I backed up again at that point, deleted the working file

LFS7.0rc2 - Section 1.1 - LFS LiveCD still valid as a build host?

2011-10-26 Thread Steve Crosby
