Ken, I've built LFS several times in different virtual environments. For instance, BLFS shows how to build qemu-kvm. When I was developing that, I loaded a Fedora iso and built LFS from there. There were no differences that I recall except that the kernel drivers have to be specified for the virtual hardware. The host, of course, was LFS. If the appropriate virtual file systems are mounted (/sys, /dev, /proc, etc) there are no changes needed to build LFS. From a theoretical standpoint where would the changes be? The only code that accesses hw is in the kernel drivers. LFS -> qemu-kvm -> Fedora -> /mnt/lfs -> new lfs Substitute the first host, virtual system, and virtual host with your choice. Any should work. The same goes for any host -> ssh linux target -> /mnt/lfs -> new lfs -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
