I didn't use a --directory at all. I thought that the build scripts and logs would be in DIR/jhalfs, but it was unclear to me where the results of the build scripts would be placed. I thought it defaulted to /mnt/lfs. This needs to be clarified, perhaps with an example. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
