If you get out of the environment, such as rebooting, I think you have put it all back the way you did the first time. If you don't need to reboot the system just leave it the way you have it setup and come back to it. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Then everything you write to /home/lfs will be there. You will need to remount the partition manually at every boot. Another suggestion is to *install* ubuntu to a 2nd partition. It will be much faster that way. Accessing a CD-ROM/DVD is slow. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

You got two pretty good replies, neither of which described
what I used for that.
I did basically the same thing you are, but with the LFS 6.3 LiveCD.
However, I used another technique. I wrote a little script file which I
put into the topmost level of the new file system, which did all the
setup. Later, when I needed it, I wrote another which also reentered the
chroot environment.

The second one probably a lot easier and faster then the first, but would you be willing to share the details of those scripts especially the first one? Like maybe post it some where so any one that wants to take a look can. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Well, during the initial setup, you have to be able to do a few
things completely manually, unless you put them on a floppy, I
guess. I don't have easy access at the moment. Really, they were
only about five or ten lines each. The next time I fire up the
machine they are on, I'll copy them out and shoot them to you.
