My bad :(
I think now that the problem is that I was using the LFS 6.2 manual when one day (not too long ago) it changed to LFS 6.3. However, I was still using the 6.2-5 LiveCD. I *was* able find a mirror site that hosted the old 6.2 manual and I followed that. But I must has gotten confused somewhere between the two? Below is the kernel and headers versions that came with the LiveCD and is what I installed. Perhaps it just makes sense to start from the beginning again with LFS 6.3 manual. linux-2.6.16.38 linux-libc-headers-2.6.12.0 Cheers, Rob -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
