Still it works well, I have omited the root= line on my USB drive and it works like a champ, always boots. The problem with the root line on a USB boot drive and using a root= line is you have to adjust it depending on how many drives the computer has, ie my desktop has four drives and my laptop 1. Removing the root=/ line makes it work on both machines without farting around without adjusting the root line at boot for each. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
