Hello Pierre,
Thank you for your kind support.
The issue was the virtual network.
I had VB set on NAT instead of Bridged Adpator So after going thru
/etc/resolv.conf & /etc/hosts & /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.enp0s3 . . . .
it all worked.
There seem to be a couple of blimps in my compilations :
1. Date seems to be stuck at 4 October 2020. My locale is en_AU.UTF8 and
'localtime' does show AEDT as the time zone correctly.
2. Been working on updating the Kernel after enabling the Mouse, and
when doing re-make get advised of 'clock skew detected'
Read somewhere to do: ' find -exec touch \{\} \; ' in root I presume to
bring all file timestamps uptodate.
Other than that the fun continues.
All the best
Cheers

Hello Everyone,
Nice to meet you all.
Well I have just managed to do LFS-10.0 in VirtualBox.
The way I set it up was to install ArchLinux with the Anarchy-
Installer
since Arch is quite uptodate with packaages; the one exception being
that 'sudo pacman -S make' needs to be done.
Using VB allowed me to Snapshot progressively and so saved me from
long
spells on the keyboard and having to re-do when something went
haywire.
Now the issue I'm having is that 'ping -c 5 www.google.com' does not
work in the new LFS-10.0 (which I have on sda3).
My '/etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.enp0s3' reads as follows:
ONBOOT=yes
IFACE=enp0s3
SERVICE=ipv4-static
IP=192.168.1.222
GATEWAY=192.168.1.154
PREFIX=24
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
And it's not working in VB.
Now if I look at Arch in VB on sda2, it says that it has an
IP - 10.0.2.15
Broadcast - 10.0.2.255
if that should mean anything in this case.
My modem-router is a Billion BiPAC 8700AX(L)-1600
I would much appreciate some pointers on how solve this little
problem.
This depends on how you set up VB for networking.
First, you have to check that the virtual network card is recognized by
the kernel by running:
ip link list
If it does not work, you have to enable the right options in the kernel
for the network card.
Second, VB has several networking modes. You may want to read the VB
doc https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html.
According to what you say above for archlinux, you are using the NAT
mode. This means the host acts as a gateway between your local home
network (probably with addresses beginning with 192.168.1), and a
virtual network with addresses beginning with 10.0.2. In that case, you
can choose any address in the range 10.0.2.5-253 for your host, use a
network mask of 10.0.2.255, and a prefix of 24. The gateway address is
10.0.2.2, and the DNS address (in /etc/resolv.conf) is 10.0.2.3. Note
that I cannot find information for that last one in the VB doc, so I am
not sure, and you might want to look at /etc/resolv.conf on
archlinux...
