Sorry to be a bit late to this thread. I believe (but could be wrong) that X can be built and installed without any devices in /dev, but configuring with `xorg -configure` will require devices, but you wouldn't want to do that in chroot anyway. BTW, I used to build many BLFS packages in chroot, but lately I've found that installing openssl/openssh and remotely logging in is even more convenient. You do need more than one system though. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
