I would like to build LFS-8.0 on my laptop using the toolkit I created for my desktop build. I tarred it up before making the final adjustments to gcc and ld. I have never done this before and I would like to run through my proposed procedure so that more experienced people can tell me if I'm leaving anything essential out. The host system will be LFS-7.8.
1. Make a new partition and format it for ext4. 2. Mount it on $LFS. 3. Create $LFS/sources and give myself write access. I intend to populate it from the desktop machine using ftp. 4. Create $LFS/tools by unpacking the tools tarball into $LFS. 5. Create the /tools link to $LFS/tools. 6. Continue from the beginning of Chapter 6. As far as I can see, I shall not need an LFS user for this build. Is that correct? -- H Russman -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
