Thanks for the hints, but I thing it was a kind of misunderstanding. I am interested in automation only. This is what I am looking (and asking) for. LFS and BLFS are no problem for me. Maybe it was a problem with my internal GETC (German to English Translation Coprocessor). This unit is very good in reading and understanding technical documentation bud the text processing and layouting subunit is very unreliable and it has a huge time- and coffee-consumption. I think, I have to make an update in the next time. :) FYI: I have created working LFS 3 times by hand and extended it with BLFS before using jhalfs (init 3 only, I don’t touch X, KDE & Co.). It was a very hard time, but the gain in experience and knowledge in particular about chroot and grub is invaluable. I have created approx. 10 different kernel versions. The LiveCD is installed on my HD. I created some Tools which are helpful for me to establish a defined environment after reboot, in which I can manage my .config-files as well as customize and manage my builds. Hibernation is not reliable enough on my machine.
