Farce extects you to tar up the system at the end of the build. I've certainly used it for 3-run testing in the past. I don't think I've looked at the details of Greg's ICA since I wrote farce, so I can't comment on how it works but provided you can tar everything up at the end of each build, before resuming the next stage of ICA in jhalfs, you should be able to use the same build. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
