I know im probably shooting this reply in the wrong direction but its early

the livecd I finally did it (took me while to figure it out) but to get
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to compile my own linux distro from the LiveCD LFS provides. I
am doing good so far, except after I make TCL I get the following errors:

After installing the Berkeley DB-4.5.20 , following the LFS book, I couldn't
able to install the IPRoute2-2.6.20-070313, because it has the dependency. It
shows several compilation error, because it requires the db_185.h and libdb.a
file.
Then after installing the DB , I copied db_185.h to /usr
Hello,

6 weeks ago and I tried Knoppix, SuSE, Debian4 and
WindowsXP, none worked. None! But the Live CD did it and after some
adjustment, Debian could start too. Because I couldn't open the box ...

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I wasn't offering to add more items. On a

When was the last time you used the CD? mdadm has been available on it
for a long time. Or were you saying that there are other tools it is

That's exactly what I am against. LiveCD users create 90% of support requests.
