hello again, thanks a lot for your replies. When i started with blfs i decided that all i wanted to do was to install any gui so i can simply continue working on it from a friendlier level. Currently by the way, my lfs is on a hard disk by itself and i boot into it directly. After copying the packages that i needed on to a folder, because i havent been able to install my network interface to download them directly, i tried several times following the guide and failed. What i then decided was to start the blfs book from the beginning and that has also been a problem. The most recent error that im getting is something that looks like : "gcc: cannot exec as' " i know that this is a frequent error and that it has to do with the compiler. Normally in any other linux distro i would know what do to to fix it, but i am honestly afraid to do something wrong in my lfs. Please help me in this matter....i cant seem to get started.

Im getting errors everywhere. Compiling > errors mostly, which i did not get before while i was building my lfs first thing is check the md5sums.generally i have experienced that some data get screwed when you burn to dvd.and source code wont compile with even a small inconsistency. >I > have also tried going back to lfs and setting up the network interface, > but this also has not worked. hmmm....how do u connect to the net.PPPoE or DHcP or how?the answer depends on that.The simplest thing is to compile support for whichever protocol u use into the kernel itself.I use DhcP ,so i've compiled it into the kernel.My computer detects the ip info at bootup.But it is also possible to do it without building it directly into the kernel.WARNING:thekernel menuconfig pregram warns that building support for connection right ito the kernel is experimental.so you are better off following the blfs book for PPPoE or DHcP connection. I think some md5sums must be wrong.... Hope this helps.
