Hi all, I need some advice from more experienced LFS'ers.
Right now, I build my LFS systems (all two of them) by a customized scripted build, which makes it easy to upgrade packages whenever a new kernel, glibc, gcc, etc. comes out. When the build is over, it puts a S99firstboot symlink in rc3.d, and reboots the system, which takes over on reboot, and builds things like X, KDE, and other BLFS stuff. This lets me run a full rebuild, which takes quite a few hours, overnight. When it's done, the firstboot script removes the symlink and itself. The problem comes when I come in the morning, and it's not done yet, because it's still building time intensive things like Firefox, Thunderbird, KDevelop etc. The problem is, the ttys have not been started yet, so I can't do anything interactive. What I'd really like is to run this script on tty9 or something, so I can start X and do other stuff without interrupting the build. How would/do you do this? Personal anecdotes requested :) Thanks, Michael -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
