Can I remove module-init-tools?

2005-07-29 Thread David Rosal
Hi. I'm trying to build a mini-LFS, and wanted to know if I can get rid of all files installed by module-init-tools, since I haven't enabled module loading support in the kernel. The files installed by module-init-tools-3.1 are the following: (~): paco -fz module-init-tools-3.1 /bin/lsmod /

Bloated e2fsprogs?

2005-07-29 Thread David Rosal
Hi again. Continuing to reduce the size of my LFS, I've found a quite strange thing: it seems that e2fsprogs installs identical files with different names instead of simply symlink them. For example: (~): diff --report-identical-files /usr/man/man8/fsck.ext{2,3}.8.bz2 Files /usr/man/man8/fsck

Hint for builting LFS using LiveCD

Can anyone share some hints of the process of building LFS using the Live CD? It seems to me that if you have booted an "empty" system (i.e empty hard drive) with the LFS CD, then you can entirely skip chapter 5 (the temporary system) and go straight to chapter 6. Is this right? - Joe -- h

Compiling Xorg with GCC4 apparently results in a messed-up video driver for certain hardware (like mine, for example). It seems "libvgahw.a" has a problem that causes all the other consoles on my system to go blank when X starts. I see that there is a fix for it - I keep seeing referencs to "03
