Yes, I knew that. > To get rid of the cruft created by building > an LFS system, you might have to create a new Qemu disk image and "cp > -r" the files over. I could try that. The space used right now is: 5.0M /bin 20M /boot 0 /dev 6.9M /etc 8.0K /home 40M /jhalfs 64M /lib 16K /lost+found 12K /media 4.0K /mnt 4.0K /opt 160K /root 168K /run 5.4M /sbin 1.4G /sources 4.0K /srv 0 /sys 2.1M /tmp 553M /tools 447M /usr 1.3M /var I can certainly delete /tools and /sources could be cut down to just a few K (scripts, md5sums, wget-list).

It would be hard at this point because usage is low. Mostly gcc. :) Besides, Xorg is not installed. The idea would be to get the compressed size down to iso size or less. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
