I know I don't talk much here usually, but personally I don't feel that ALFS being broken on end-user distros like Ubuntu is likely to be due to a problem on ALFS' end. Ubuntu is obscene in terms of default omissions when compared to a base LFS, even after the build-essential metapackage is installed. Personally I avoid anything Debian based like the plague; technically speaking it's horrible, and the people are even worse. If you need a sane build host, I'd either manually build LFS first, or use Slackware. That's about the only premade distro that I know of that can be relied upon for a genuinely sane build environment out of the box. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
