Re: [lfs-support] Has anyone used gentoo stage3 as toolchain or temporary system skipping the chapter 5?
@Michele Bucca, @Tim Tassonis, Someone answered before that it's possible to use gentoo stage3 as toolchain or temporary system. But he didn't mention the process or command to do this. They didn't mentioned how to do this. I mentioned my commands and the error it gives.

[lfs-support] Is the style of kernel booting message correct?
After booting the kernel successfully, the init scripts start running. Everything works well. I see messages like this: * Starting network [ok] * Starting other service[ok] The [ok] is at the right side. Is this the correct style of message? Is this style set by sysvinit? Or is it set by lfs bootscripts? Or is it set by kernel by default? I think, debian system has systemd instead of sysvinit.
