I doubt such a hint or tutorial exists. And I think this is a bad idea. Maintenance and support will be unusual hassles. Furthermore, I think the effort to standardize a filesystem is incredibly essential in enabling open source, community-driven development. That said, you should take detailed notes and document your progress. It may be helpful research to look over LFS hints regarding encrypted filesystems and fakeroot installations. Another thought is to try it out first by creating some simple symlinks to your host system and then trying your edit_makefile-configure-make-make_install method on some small packages. That would give you an idea of the labor involved. good luck. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
