For the most part, you are OK as long as you maintain the virtual file systems that are mounted in Chapter 6. I usually build over ssh so I make sure that openssl and openssh are in place. Other things I build early are lsb-release (for my scripts), sudo, which, and wget. I also have my sources in /usr/src and that is a separate partition so I can use it from any build. I recommend the following as separate partitions: /boot, /home, and /usr/src. /opt is also a possibility. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
