Third-party binaries are especially fun for this reason. You're not going to want to hear this, but you probably should read their installation script and see what it's actually trying to do. But Shawn is right, the messages seem to say that it installed everything except the initscripts, and you'd probably have to write your own for it to work on LFS anyway. > There are files missing, it seems.

We don't know if there are missing files unless you can show an error otherwise. I'd more assume that it's looking for some distro-specific info like /etc/fedora-release and wouldn't know what to do with LFS even if it could figure it out. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
