The entire build from start to finish and that includes booting into the new system was about 4 or 5 hours. I did not keep time by exact measure. Just noted about when I started and about when I finished. One of the big reasons it did not take longer is because I created a lot of shell scripts and ran them one after the other. Making sure my shell scripts were right took a lot longer. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
