For the record, I regularly build x.org in the chroot. There are no problems with doing this except if you want to install the official NVidia drivers and your running kernel doesn't match your kernel built in the chroot. This is because the NVidia drivers try to build against and install into /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/... (This can be overridden if you read the readme, but personally I just leave that one package until I've rebooted.) Maybe that clears up a few myths? ~Ainsley -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
