Did you check to make sure you actually mounted something at /mnt/lfs before starting your build? Maybe its all there hidden under your mount. You might want to try a find / -name bash -print and see how many copies come up, see if its somewhere else entirely. Sent on the TELUS Mobility network with BlackBerry

I awoke this morning with thoughts of configuring grub and building the kernel so that I could move on to BLFS. When I mounted the partition upon which I had built jhalfs, there was nothing on it but /jhalfs. That directory contained another directory `jhalfs-2.3.2` Yes, it's the untarred package. It wasn't there yesterday. Just to make sure that I really wasn't losing my mind, I did touch -t 201007171200 file1 touch -t 201007172100 file2 find / -type d -newer file1 /! -newer file2 -print The only thing that came up was all the directories that got created yesterday on my host system when I discovered that I needed the libncurses5-dev package from Ubuntu. Here's how I ran jhalfs: 1. untarred the archive in my home directory 2. ran make and configured jhalfs 3. su'd to lfs and ran <make mk_CHROOT> 4. I monitored the build as it "cooked" away and reviewed the test files as they were created. 5. Last night after the script quit, I turned off my computer and went to bed. I didn't read the master Makefile after it was generated. It's almost like I ran <make dist-clean>. I wanted to do something like Bruce does and configure grub and build the kernel, since I've never, as an LFS'er used the "new" grub. I didn't think I needed to do anything but stop the build after Chapter 6. Was I wrong? Did I miss something? Should I have read the master Makefile? I'm going to start over again. In review, with my memory what I did yesterday which may have caused problems and which I will change today: 1. I su'd to user-lfs from me and not from user-root like I normally do if I'm building LFS by hand. 2. I don't remember whether or not I exported $LFS before I started jhalfs. I'm assuming that I need to do all the work through Chapter 4 and that jhalfs takes over from there with 5,6,7 and 8. I stopped it after Ch. 6 because I wanted to do the set up myself. The only problem that I thought I had yesterday was that the menu wouldn't let me change GMT to /America/Chicago and I couldn't finde anywhere that I could edit a script or variable. I was planning to change the /etc/localtime today when I booted up. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Looks like I may have used both barrels on my foot. I'm looking forward to any comments, pointers, advice, answers and even derision that anyone may have to offer.
