If everything works, you can't have omitted anything important. There are some software packages that require certain kernel options to be set. The relevant blfs page will tell you about these. It's not uncommon in LFS to have to rebuild a kernel to accommodate a software package requirement. The only way to test for excess options is to build an experimental kernel without that option and see if it works. But unless you have an embedded system with tight space requirements, it probably isn't worth the trouble. -- 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.
