Hi there, I have two suggestions for the book which I hope will be helpful:
As in every computer boot up and logging in as lfs user I had to run 'mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/lfs' as root, I added (rewrited) this to .bashrc file as following (rewriting LFS-7.1 4.4. Setting Up the Environment section): cat > ~/.bashrc << "EOF" set +h umask 022 LFS=/mnt/lfs LC_ALL=POSIX LFS_TGT=$(uname -m)-lfs-linux-gnu PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin export LFS LC_ALL LFS_TGT PATH mount /dev/sda7 $LFS EOF However I have two issues with this: I know I should use 'sudo mount' in Debian but what command will work in all distros? because book's reader can be on any distro.The mount command should not run if it's already mounted. how it can be verified before mounting, via Linux commands? Another suggestion is doing LFS-7.1 4.4 steps for root too in beginning of part III because after this part, all commands should be run as root but $LFS is not declared in root. so I issued following command while I was logged in as root and now I don't have to declare $LFS every time I login to root: NOTE: I commented that lines which I was not sure about them if they should run in root mode too. cat > ~/.bashrc << "EOF" # set +h # umask 022 LFS=/mnt/lfs # LC_ALL=POSIX # LFS_TGT=$(uname -m)-lfs-linux-gnu # PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin export LFS # LC_ALL LFS_TGT PATH mount /dev/sda7 $LFS EOF What's your idea? Are these useful and meaningful? Thanks in advance! Sincerely Yours, Yasser.
