If that's the fstab for lfs, then it's wrong. It should have: /dev/sda11 / ext3 defaults 1 1 create a swap partition: /dev/sda? swap swap pri=1 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /run tmpfs defaults 0 0 -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
