Replying to [comment:5 Bryan Kadzban]: > > Hmm. Yes, it's better tested, and yes, it's more widely used, and yes, it's supposed to be distro-independent (assuming somebody wants to write the proper template(s) for LFS). But based on reading the design goals page ([http://yaird.alioth.debian.org/yaird.html]), it seems like it's way more complicated than anything I was thinking. We can certainly start simple and build up features over time. I mean, the first step is just to make sure that you could boot from a standard partition and that the process works in the book. > Or, we could do this all in BLFS, and point the user there at the end of LFS if they have special booting needs. That may be preferable if cpio is required. This might not be a bad idea anyway. There's other stuff we could talk about in BLFS like generating the docbook docs, too. There's precedent with shadow, and there are spots in the BLFS book where we talk about adding kernel support for things, yet we don't discuss building the kernel at all. But if the only thing stopping initramfs support in LFS is cpio, then I don't think that should be critical. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2033#comment:6> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
