I there, I am writing from a CLFS system on my desktop working 100% as I want it as of now. I have a laptop (a macbook air 2,1) which only runs Ubuntu but there are a couple of things that I can't get working (like the mic) so I wanted to diagnose them, but after trying everything with the people upstream ALSA I figured it's probably better to just wipe the harddrive clean and start with a fresh LFS system.
What I'd love to hear from you is advice on how to start building. I can only think of 2 (and a half) options: 1) The problem is that this particular laptop only has a USB port and for some reason booting the linux kernel (at least each time I installed ubuntu on it) leaves the SMC in a bad state, so you need to constantly reboot the machine and reset the SMC in the process. I guess I can just take several tries with the LFS live CD or the Ubuntu one as a host and compile on the same laptop 2) I guess I could probably connect the working Ubuntu on the laptop with my wireless network at home (don't have a USB-ethernet adapter) and mount a partition on my desktop, then build using my CLFS Desktop as a host (and making the process of building a little faster) 3) I don't know if there is a way of mounting the whole harddrive of the laptop in the desktop without having a running OS in it. It used to be that old macs you could connect them to another mac via Firewire, but this one only has a USB port so I have no clue how this setup could work. I am sorry for the ill-posed question, but any comment even the most trivial from you will be gold to me.
