ICA could potentially highlight any errors coming from different hosts, but you'd have to try building from different hosts. Hopefully the Ch.5 in the book works well enough that by the time you get to Ch.6 it's independent of the host, but I don't know. I've never tested whether the end result from 2 different hosts is the same. It would be a time consuming test to set up, but it could be done. The ICA testing has all been done on anduin, which is LFS SVN-20050109 on an Athlon XP 2100. At home I have a couple partitions set up, one with LFS ~20051006, and one with FC4. The problem is that it's a PIII 500, so it takes a LONG time to build anything. And it's my only box, so I can't just let it run for a couple days. (My girlfriend would kill me.) If there's another host to use, we could do the test. Preferably a non-LFS host. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
